APE1/Ref-1 could serve as a potential serological biomarker for the diagnosis and prognosis of oral squamous cell carcinoma

Apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease 1/redox factor-1 (APE1/Ref-1) is a multifunctional protein that shows elevated expression in many cancers including oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), but the serum APE1/REF-1 level remains unknown in OSCC patients. The purpose of this study was to estimate serum APE/Ref-1 levels in OSCC subjects and to measure its association with the diagnosis, clinicopathological features and prognosis of OSCC.
