Chemoprevention of oral cancer in leukoplakia patients: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

The systematic review and meta-analysis of published randomised controlled trials (RCTs) was conducted to review the effectiveness of current chemopreventive agents in the treatment of oral leukoplakia lesions (OPLs) and prevention of their progression to oral cancer. Material was identified through a retrospective literature search of the electronic PubMed database, Embase and Cochrane Library between 2008 and 2016.Eight RCTs were included for systematic review. The pooled estimate showed a 14% greater chance of responding for those randomised to interventions compared with placebo (Risk Ratio [RR] 1.14, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.72 to 1.81). The CI from individual studies overlapped. The results suggested that there were no significant differences in comparing clinical responses between chemopreventive agents with placebo in treatment of OPLs. It is time to investigate new agents for oral cancer chemoprevention.
