Prognostic Value of Selected Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition and Immune Checkpoint Markers in Predicting Malignant Transformation of Oral Leukoplakia.
AIM This study investigates the prognostic potential of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) markers (E-cadherin, N-cadherin, Twist) and immune checkpoint markers (PD-1, PD-L1) in predicting malignant transformation (MT) of oral leukoplakia (OL). METHODOLOGY Immunohistochemistry (IHC) was performed on 56 OL tissue...
