Background and Objectives: Oral cancer remains a critical global health concern, with oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) being the most prevalent form. potentially malignant disorders (OPMDs), such as leukoplakia (OLK), lichen planus (OLP), actinic cheilitis (AC), often precede OSCC. Identifying reliable biomarkers is vital for assessing transformation risk. The present study aimed to evaluate immunohistochemical expression of differentiated embryonic chondrocyte 1 (DEC1), marker dysplasia...
