Multimodal risk assessment for oral potentially malignant disorders: Integrating patient-centered and specimen-derived data.

Clinical and laboratory variables including tobacco exposure, lesion characteristics, metabolic factors, and tissue molecular profiles each contribute to cancer risk in oral potentially malignant disorders, but no single measure adequately predicts individual outcomes; standardised integration of multiple data types across research groups is needed to develop validated risk prediction tools.
