Malignant transformation of oral lichen planus and oral lichenoid lesions: A meta-analysis of 20095 patient data.

TLDR
A higher incidence of malignant transformation was found among smokers, alcoholics, and HCV-infected patients; however, these associations should be further investigated.

Oral potentially malignant disorders: risk of progression to malignancy

TL;DR: This review attempts to identify important risk factors and presents a simple algorithm that can be used as a guide for risk assessment at each stage of the clinical evaluation of a patient.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rate of malignant transformation of oral lichen planus: A systematic review.

TL;DR: This systematic review confirms that both OLP and OLL, the latter with a slightly higher TR, may be considered potentially malignant disorders and suggest that erosive type, female gender and tongue site should be considered as risk factors for OLP transformation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Malignant transformation risk of oral lichen planus: A systematic review and comprehensive meta-analysis.

TL;DR: The malignant transformation rates of OLP, OLLs and LRs are underestimated due essentially to restrictive diagnostic criteria, inadequate follow-up periods, and/or low quality of studies.

Pathogenesis of oral lichen planus – a review

TL;DR: Both antigen-specific and non-specific mechanisms are hypothesized to be involved in the pathogenesis of oral lichen planus, a T-cell-mediated chronic inflammatory oral mucosal disease of unknown etiology.

Molecular Pathogenesis of Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma: Implications for Therapy

TL;DR: The rapid progress that has been made in understanding of the molecular alterations contributing to the development of OSCC is leading to improvements in the early diagnosis of tumors and the refinement of biologic treatments individualized to the specific characteristics of a patient’s tumor.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hepatitis C virus core protein cooperates with ras and transforms primary rat embryo fibroblasts to tumorigenic phenotype.

TL;DR: Results from these studies suggest that the core protein plays an important role in the regulation of HCV-infected cell growth and in the transformation to tumorigenic phenotype, and suggest a possible mechanism for this viral protein in the pathogenesis of hepatocellular carcinoma in HCV -infected humans.
Journal ArticleDOI

A prospective follow-up study of 570 patients with oral lichen planus: persistence, remission, and malignant association.

TL;DR: The onset of lichen planus could not be associated with any evident factors, such as family history, Candida albicans, glucose intolerance, and smoking.
Journal ArticleDOI

Formation of 8-nitroguanine in DNA treated with peroxynitrite in vitro and its rapid removal from DNA by depurination

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that 8‐nitroguanine is formed dose‐dependently in calf thymus DNA incubated with low concentrations of peroxynitrite in vitro, a strong oxidant formed by reaction of nitric oxide with superoxide in inflamed tissues.
