| Description: |
AbstractIn oral cancer, acquisition of α‐smooth muscle actin (α‐SMA)‐positive fibroblasts, known as myofibroblasts or carcinoma‐associated fibroblasts (CAF), is an important event for progression and metastasis. However, the contribution of myofibroblasts in oral potentially malignant disorders (OPMD) remains controversial. This systematic review provides evidence that immunodetection of myofibroblasts may identify oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF) with high risk of malignant transformation, but does not represent an auxiliary tool to predict the malignant potential of leukoplakia and erythroplakia, the most common OPMD. see all
