Diagnostic Efficacy of Serum Biomarkers for Oral Cancer: An Updated Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Key Points

This research evaluates the diagnostic effectiveness of serum biomarkers for oral cancer, focusing on their potential for early detection.
Conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of existing studies on serum biomarkers for oral cancer.
Analyzed data on the diagnostic accuracy and predictive capabilities of identified serum biomarkers.
Compared serum biomarkers with histopathology results.
Serum biomarkers show good overall diagnostic potential for oral cancer.
They can be particularly effective in predicting disease outcomes.
Utilizing these biomarkers can enhance early screening and detection efforts for oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC).

Abstract

Serum biomarkers are a valid tool and, overall, have good diagnostic potential in identifying the target condition. They can be used as an alternative adjunct to histopathology. Serum biomarkers also have significant potential in predicting and diagnosing disease outcomes, and they can improve the quality and reach of early screening and detection of OSCC. Serum biomarkers can be employed for early diagnosis and prompt treatment under the secondary level of prevention.
