Genes and pathways monotonically dysregulated during progression from normal through leukoplakia to gingivo-buccal oral cancer
Abstract Oral squamous cell carcinoma of the gingivo-buccal region (OSCC-GB) accounts for the highest cancer morbidity and mortality among men in India. It has been observed that about one-third of individuals with oral leukoplakia, a dysplastic precancerous lesion in the oral cavity, progress to or...
