<i>EDNRB</i> and <i>DCC</i> Salivary Rinse Hypermethylation Has a Similar Performance as Expert Clinical Examination in Discrimination of Oral Cancer/Dysplasia versus Benign Lesions

Abstract

EDNRB and/or DCC methylation in salivary rinses compares well to examination by an expert clinician in CRC of oral lesions. These salivary biomarkers may be particularly useful in oral premalignancy and malignancy screening in clinical care settings in which expert clinicians are not available.
