Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Association between the DNA methylation level and the stage of cancer

    1. Compare the DNA methylation level and the stage of cancer before treatment. 2. DNA methylation level as a monitor tool for recurrence/metastasis of oral cancer. 3. qPCR will be used to determine the DNA methylation level.

Sampling MethodNon-Probability Sample
Study Population

Investigators plan to retrieve the tissue from the biobank in Taipei Veterans General Hospital or recruit oral cancer patients in this study over six months. The total patient number are 40-50. Specimen types include non-cancerous matched tissues, cancer tissues, and the oral swab. DNA methylation for several genes will be tested by using standardized reagents and instruments.

You may qualify if:

  • Age between 20 and 75 years old
  • Had or currently has cancer of the oral cavity
  • Agree to sign the Informed Consent Form (ICF) and comply with follow-up procedures

You may not qualify if:

  • Unwilling to sign the Informed Consent Form (ICF)
  • Has an autoimmune disease of the oral cavity
