BACKGROUND: Although oral leukoplakia (OL) is the best-known potentially malignant disorder, the risk of OL malignant transformation is difficult to assess. ATP-binding cassette, G2 subfamily (ABCG2) and BMI-1 are stem cell markers that have been found to be associated with head and neck tumorigenesis. The objective of the current study was to evaluate the usefulness of ABCG2 and BMI-1 in predicting OL...
