Diagnostic and prognostic ability of salivary MMP-9 for oral squamous cell carcinoma: A pre-/post-surgery case and matched control study
Over 90% of oral cancers are oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Hitherto, early detection marker for OSCC has not been available. Hence, this study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic and prognostic ability of salivary matrix-metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) and 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) for OSCC....

Summary: | Over 90% of oral cancers are oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Hitherto, early detection marker for OSCC has not been available. Hence, this study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic and prognostic ability of salivary matrix-metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) and 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) for OSCC. Total of 318 participants with 106 cases and 212 controls were included: OSCC cases were from Seoul National University Dental Hospital and age, sex, and smoking matched controls were from Yangpyeong cohort. Unstimulated saliva was collected to determine MMP-9 and 8-OHdG using sensitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Multivariable linear regression and analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) were applied to evaluate the adjusted association of markers with OSCC. Wilcoxon sign rank sum test and Friedman test for median were applied to evaluate follow-up level of MMP-9 after surgery. Receiver operating characteristic curve was obtained for diagnostic ability. Salivary MMP-9 was associated with OSCC (ANCOVA and multivariable linear regression, p |
