The present invention relates to: a method for providing information for the prediction or diagnosis of oral precancer or oral cancer characterized by confirming expression of the Axin2 gene or the Snail gene in an oral leukoplakia tissue sample or an oral submucous fibrosis tissue sample; and a use of a compound capable of delaying or inhibiting the progression of a precancerous lesion and recurrent oral cancer using the compound capable of effectively inhibiting the expression of the Axin2 gene or the Snail gene. According to the present invention, the possibility of oral leukoplakia or submucous fibrosis which causes white lesions to appear inside the oral cavity can be predicted and diagnosed, thereby being useful in eliminating the potential risks of oral cancer by early prediction of progression into oral precancer or oral cancer for which effective treatment does not currently exist.
本发明涉及:一种为预测或诊断口腔癌前病变或口腔癌提供信息的方法,其特征在于确认口腔白斑病组织样本或口腔黏膜下纤维化组织样本中Axin2
基因或Snail
基因的表达;以及使用能够有效抑制Axin2
基因或Snail
基因表达的化合物,延缓或抑制癌前病变和复发性口腔癌的进展。根据本发明,可以预测和诊断导致口腔内出现白色病变的口腔白斑病或粘膜下纤维化的可能性,从而通过早期预测口腔癌前病变或目前尚无有效治疗方法的口腔癌的进展,有助于消除口腔癌的潜在风险。
