“…The results presented confirm the findings of previous studies showing MTs overexpression in OLP [ 49 , 50 ], OL [ 51 , 52 ], and OSCC [ 53 , 54 , 55 , 56 , 57 , 58 , 59 ] when each of these lesions was compared with normal oral mucosa. However, in the present study, we systematically analyzed the relationship of MTs expression between premalignant lesions and different grades of OSCC ( Figure 1 and Figure 2 ; Table 1 ).…”
