Aktuelle Konzepte zur Früherkennung, Diagnostik und Therapie oraler Plattenepithelkarzinome

Abstract

This article offers a short review of risk factors, oral precancerous conditions, and oral precancerous lesions which may cause oral squamous carcinoma. Current diagnostic methods and multidisciplinary strategies for the early detection and appropriate therapy of oral squamous carcinomas are discussed.
