Evaluating MCM3 Expression as a Diagnostic and Prognostic Marker in Oral Epithelial Dysplasia and OSCC: A Systematic Review

Key Points

• MCM3 expression serves as a promising marker for early diagnosis in oral epithelial dysplasia and oral squamous cell carcinoma.
• The systematic review consolidates findings from multiple sources supporting MCM3's relevance, including a significant correlation with disease progression.
• Assessment of MCM3 expression utilizes various methodologies to establish its effectiveness in distinguishing between dysplastic lesions and malignant tumors.
• Further studies are needed to validate the clinical implications of MCM3 as a routine diagnostic tool in oral health care.
