ABSTRACT
Background:
Oral Submucosal Fibrosis (OSF) and Oral Leukoplakia (OLK) are well-known oral potentially malignant disorders, and cases of Oral Submucosal Fibrosis concomitant Oral Leukoplakia (OSF+OLK) are now being reported clinically. DNA image cytometry is an objective and non-invasive method for monitoring the risk of precancerous lesions in the oral cavity.Methods:
A total of 111 patients with clinically characterized oral mucosal lesions underwent simultaneous and independent histopathological and DNA imaging cytometry assessments. Clinical data were also collected for each patient.Results:
The frequency of DNA content abnormality was higher in the tongue than in other oral sites (P = 0.003) for OLK. The frequency of DNA content abnormality was higher in the tongue than in other oral sites (P = 0.035) for OSF+OLK. The differences of DNA content abnormality in age, sex, dietary habit, smoking, and alcohol intake were not observed in OLK and OSF+OLK. The study indicates an association between DNA content abnormality and pathological examination in OSF+OLK ( χ2 test, P = 0.007). OLK showed higher sensitivity and specificity than OSF, while the sensitivity and specificity of OSF+OLK are higher than OLK only and OSF only.Conclusion:
DNA image cytometry can be utilized as an adjunctive device for the initial detection of oral potentially malignant disorders that require further clinical management.
