Multivariate analyses of Ki‐67, cytokeratin 13 and cytokeratin 17 in diagnosis and prognosis of oral precancerous lesions

Abstract

Ki-67 overexpression and cytokeratin 13 loss may be useful for distinguishing oral precancerous lesions from reactive atypical epithelium. Moreover, Ki-67 overexpression may be a risk factor for recurrence and/or malignant transformation of oral atypical epithelium.
