Hallmarks of Cancer Applied to Oral and Oropharyngeal Carcinogenesis: A Scoping Review of the Evidence Gaps Found in Published Systematic Reviews González Moles, Miguel Ángel López Ansio, María Ramos García, Pablo Hallmarks of cancer Biomarkers Oral cancer Oropharyngeal cancer Oral potentially malignant disorders Scoping review Systematic review Meta-analysis In 2000 and 2011, Hanahan and Weinberg published two papers in which they defined the characteristics that cells must fulfil in order to be considered neoplastic cells in all types of tumours that affect humans, which the authors called “hallmarks of cancer”. These papers have represented a milestone in our understanding of the biology of many types of cancers and have made it possible to reach high levels of scientific evidence in relation to the prognostic impact that these hallmarks have on different tumour types. However, to date, there is no study that globally analyses evidencebased knowledge on the importance of these hallmarks in oral and oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinomas. For this reason, we set out to conduct this scoping review of systematic reviews with the aim of detecting evidence gaps in relation to the relevance of the cancer hallmarks proposed by Hanahan andWeinberg in oral and oropharyngeal cancer, and oral potentially malignant disorders, and to point out future lines of research in this field. 2022-09-16T08:35:00Z 2022-09-16T08:35:00Z 2022-08-08 info:eu-repo/semantics/article González-Moles, M.Á...
