Podoplanin expression as a predictive marker of dysplasia in oral leukoplakia

Recent studies have emphasized the role of podoplanin in oral lesions at risk of malignant transformation. We investigated a group of oral leukoplakias (OLs) to determine a possible relation between altered podoplanin expression and dysplasia, and to compare the results with those obtained by other, widely used biomarkers.
