Sex Hormones and Inflammation Role in Oral Cancer Progression: A Molecular and Biological Point of View

Oral cancers have been proven to arise from precursors lesions and to be related to risk behaviour such as alcohol consumption and smoke. However, the present paper focuses on the role of chronic inflammation, related to chronical oral infections and/or altered immune responses occurring during dysi...
