Methods: Forty paraffin blocks of retrospective histologically diagnosed cases of OSCC and 20 blocks of oral leukoplakia with epithelial dysplasia were obtained from two hospitals between 2018 and 2021. The paraffin-embedded tissue was analyzed for the expression of KRAS for oral epithelial dysplasia and OSCC, and ki-67, Cyclin D1, and bcl2 were analyzed only for OSCC. The results were correlated with each other and with different clinicopathological features and were statistically analyzed. Results: KRAS expression was significantly associated with histological tumor grade, tumor extent, presence of nodal and distant metastasis, pathological stage, and the presence of lymphovascular invasion (P=<0.001, 0.001, 0.001, 0.009, <0.001, and <0.001, respectively). The KRAS expression was positively correlated with the histological grade, tumor extent, nodal status, and the pathological stage (r=0.712, 0.649, 0.646, and 0.865, respectively). A positive correlation was also found with the expression of Bcl2, Cyclin D1, and Ki-67 (r=0.81, 0.723, and 0.698, respectively). The KRAS expression in oral epithelial dysplasia was significantly lower than that in OSCC (P=0.003).
