Proteomics pattern associated with gingival oral squamous cell carcinoma and epulis: A case analysis

Objectives: Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is the most common epithelial malignant neoplasm affecting the oral cavity. OSCC can mimic oral lesions of inflammatory origin with benign features, often leading to delay in diagnosis and treatment. Early detection is important to greatly increase the chances of a successful treatment. The present study reports a proteomic analysis of a gingival oral squamous cell carcinoma (G-OSCC) and an epulis.
