Abstract:
:Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is the most common oral cancer, and major efforts is being made to identify molecular markers capable to differentiate oral potentially malignant lesions (OPMLs) with indolent course from lesions with aggressive behavior. We undertook a study to evaluate if gain of the human telomerase RNA component (hTERC) gene in OPMLs could indicate lesions at high risk of developing OSCC. The study was performed on 30 OPMLs with long-term follow-up using a dual-color interphase fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) for hTERC status. Progression to malignancy was observed in 9 of 10 cases harboring hTERC gain and in 1 of 20 cases retaining a normal copy number of hTERC (P < .0001). Combining morphological grading and FISH analysis, all the cases with high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion or carcinoma in situ harboring hTERC amplification progressed to OSCC, whereas none of the low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions without hTERC gain progressed. Intermediate situations occurred. The data suggest that precise morphological evaluation together with FISH assessment for hTERC gain might pave the way to stratify OPMLs into high-risk and low-risk categories and could be helpful in selecting the most appropriate treatment.
