Significance of Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) upregulation in the prediction of the malignant transformation risk in oral potentially malignant disorders: a systematic re... by José Luis Cívico-Ortega, Pablo Ramos-García, Miguel Ángel González-Moles

“…Subgroup analyses demonstrated that both EGFR protein overexpression (RR = 2.02, 95%CI = 1.55–2.63, p < 0.001) and EGFR gene amplification (RR = 2.70, 95%CI = 1.72–4.25, p < 0.001), nuclear staining (RR = 3.47, 95%CI = 1.50-8.01, p = 0.004) and the >10% cutoff point were significantly associated with transformation risk (RR = 2.27, 95%CI = 1.33–3.87, p = 0.003).ConclusionThe present systematic review and meta-analysis demonstrates that EGFR overexpression, assessed through immunohistochemical technique, functions as a risk marker of OPMD malignant transformation risk.Systematic Review Registrationhttps://www.crd.york.ac.uk/PROSPERO/view/CRD42024626482, identifier: CRD42024626482).…”
