Numerous attempts have been made to establish and develop tumor markers that could determine the susceptibility of normal tissues to transform into cancerous ones. To determine whether altered expression patterns of E-cadherin could be an early event in the progression of potentially malignant disorders to oral squamous cell carcinoma, this study aimed to assess the relationship between the immunoexpression of E-cadherin and the different degrees of epithelial dysplasia in oral leukoplakia. |
