Abstract
OBJECTIVES: To investigate the clinicopathological profile and risk factors of micro-invasive carcinoma within oral potentially malignant disorders (OPMD).
METHODS: Micro-invasive carcinomas were identified in a large prospective series of OPMD patients (n = 810) from eastern China. Logistic regression was applied to evaluate odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) for indicative of malignant risk in general OPMD.
RESULTS: Leukoplakia (41.4%), lichen planus (28.0%), and lichenoid lesion (23.7%) were the most 3 clinical subtypes of OPMD. A total of 62 (7.7%) micro-invasive carcinomas within OPMD were identified, and 96.8% of micro-invasive carcinoma was found within leukoplakia and erythroplakia. Multivariate regression analysis revealed that the risk of malignant change within OPMD located on lateral/ventral tongue (OR, 15.1; 95% CI, 1.85-122.8; P = 0.011) was higher than other sites. The risk of malignant change within non-homogenous type (OR, 103.3; 95% CI, 13.39-796.7; P < 0.001) was strikingly higher than other subtypes of OPMD, respectively. Intriguingly, the risk of micro-invasive carcinoma diagnosed in current smoker (OR, 3.96; 95% CI, 1.31-12.02; P = 0.015) was higher than non-smoker.
CONCLUSION: This large-scale cross-sectional study elucidated the clinical factors and risk assessment of micro-invasive carcinoma within OPMD.
CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Non-homogenous lesions located on lateral/ventral tongue might be monitored at closer intervals, and the need for rigorous management to detect malignant changes.
