Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To investigate somatic mutations in the whole genes of tissue samples from patients with oral leukoplakia (OLK), as the most typical precursor of oral cancer; and identify the specific genes as a mutational panel for predicting OLK malignant transformation. METHODS: A total of 123 consecutive OLK patients with long-term follow-up (median, 73 months) were prospectively enrolled, and divided into...
