Salivary microRNAs for oral cancer and oral potentially malignant disorder triage: a scoping review and evidence map

Background

Salivary microRNAs (miRNAs) have been investigated for oral cancer detection, but comparison with healthy volunteers does not establish performance among patients with oral mucosal lesions. This review maps evidence relevant to discrimination between oral squamous cell carcinoma or oral cancer (OSCC/OC) and oral potentially malignant disorders (OPMDs).
