Background: Poor outcomes in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) are closely linked to delayed diagnosis, positive surgical margins and occult lymph node metastasis. A unified strategy for premalignant lesion screening, primary tumor delineation and metastatic lymph node detection remains lacking. Methods: We evaluated c-Met expression in human oral lesions, OSCC tissues and metastatic lymph nodes to establish its suitability as an imaging target. ...
