Keywords
Oral potentially malignant lesions, Oral cancer, salivary CYFRA21-1, serum CYFRA21-1
Brief summary
The study is designed to measure serum and salivary CYFRA21-1 levels using enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in patients with oral malignancy, oral potentially malignant lesions, and control subjects to evaluate the potential of CYFRA21-1 as a diagnostic marker for malignant transformation in potentially malignant oral mucosal lesions.
Interventions
measure serum and salivary CYFRA21-1 levels in all included participants using Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent assay (ELISA)

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
participants will be divided into 3 groups: * Group I: patients suffering from oral potentially malignant lesions (PML) as defined by World Health Organization. * Group II: patients suffering from diagnosed oral malignant lesions * Group III: healthy subjects who are systemically free, non-smokers, and not suffering from any oral mucosal lesions.
Exclusion criteria
* Subjects taking any drugs inducing any changes that could affect the salivary flow. * Pregnant females. * Subjects have any allergies, infectious diseases or active dental abscesses during one month before saliva sampling. * Patients receiving any drugs related to the oral lesions in the past 6 month prior to sample collection.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| sensitivity and specificity of serum and salivary CYFRA21-1 as a diagnostic marker in oral cancer | one year | diagnostic accuracy in terms of sensitivity and specificity of serum and salivary CYFRA21-1 in differentiating between oral malignancy and oral potential malignant lesions in order to be able to early diagnose malignant changes in oral lesions. |
