Early Diagnosis of Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma by Salivary microRNAs

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), the most common type of oral cancer, and represents more than 90% of malignancies of the oral cavity. Worldwide, each year about 275,000 are newly diagnosed. If detected at an early stage, OSCC has a survival rate of up to 80% compared to the detection in later stages (T3-T4) when a survival rate of 20 - 30% is present. METHODS: Because OSCC presents these survival...
