Establishment of a standardized biological sample collection protocol for OPMDs. In: 3rd OPMD, Porto (Portugal), June 6-7, 2024.http://hdl.handle.net/10400.21/22059This publication is based upon work from COST Action "Interception of oral cancer development" (INTERCEPTOR) CA21140, supported by COST (European Cooperation in Science and Technology).There has been a growing number of clinical studies on OPMDs in recent years, reflecting increasing interest in this field. Among these studies, EU countries have the second-highest number of publications after China. According to a meta-analysis, the prevalence of OPMDs is approximately 3.07%. While surgical diagnosis remains the gold standard, there is currently no standardized protocol for the surgical biopsy of oral lesions. To reach a protocol compendium for the collection of oral biological samples, a literature review on clinical studies with detailed methodologies of surgical biopsy of OPMDs in clinical settings was performed.engOral cavity cancerOral potentially malignant disordersBiological sample collection protocolLiterature reviewINTERCEPTOR CA21140conference poster
