Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Oral cancer is a serious disease that causes thousands of deaths each year. Improved prevention methods can reduce the risk of developing this disease. This can be achieved through a better understanding of the disease and its risk factors. In addition, the use of innovative approaches to enable early diagnosis will enhance the outcome of case management, improving the quality of life of our patients and consequently increasing patient survival rates.
The aim of this Special Issue is to provide a “research update” on the different risk factors and studies investigating the effectiveness of innovative approaches to achieve early detection of oral cancer.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome, and we particularly encourage the submission of multicentric studies. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- The correlation of human papillomavirus with oral cancer.
- Non-invasive biomarkers including microRNAs.
- Potentially malignant oral disorders and the risk of malignant transformation.
- Tobacco, alcohol, and family history as risk factors.
- Chronic trauma and malignant transformation.
- The impact of early diagnosis of oral cancer on survival rate.
- Innovative biopsy techniques for precise and early diagnosis of oral cancer.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
Regards,
Dr. Gianluca Tenore
Prof. Dr. Umberto Romeo
