Salivary Biomarkers in Oral Cancer

There is considerable excitement surrounding the application of saliva-based diagnostics for oral cancer, and it is believed that this will soon be followed by application of highly informative salivary biomarkers, as saliva is composed of various molecules that are filtered , processed, and secreted from the vasculature that nourish the salivary glands. With additional advantages of an easy, safe, cost effective, and non-invasive diagnostic approach, saliva shows high potential for monitoring general health and disease, with enormous translational values, and unparalleled opportunities for clinical application.
