Abstract
Objective: This study examined the prevalence of oral signs and symptoms in paraneoplastic syndromes.
Materials and methods: A systematic search on oral paraneoplastic syndromes was conducted in MEDLINE/PubMed, Ovid, and Scopus databases from inception to April 1, 2024. Risk of bias was evaluated using the MURAD or Quality in Prognosis Studies tools, and a random-effects meta-analysis was performed. Evidence quality was rated using the GRADE approach.
Results: The study sample comprised 811 participants from 487 studies. Oral manifestations predominantly affected patients with paraneoplastic pemphigus, mucous membrane pemphigoid, and acanthosis nigricans. Palate is the most frequently affected site (18.2%; 95% confidence interval [CI] 14.7-21.9), while erosion was the most common lesion type (83.3%; 95% CI 72.2-92.0) associated with the underlying malignancy. The prevalence of death in people with paraneoplastic syndromes was 50.9% (95% CI 39.9-61.7), while the prevalence of remission after neoplasm treatment was 63.4% (95% CI 49.9-76.0). GRADE assessment revealed uniformly low to very low certainty for all outcomes studied.
Conclusions: Further research is needed to understand the mechanisms behind these oral manifestations, which is crucial for earlier paraneoplastic syndrome diagnosis and optimal patient management.
期刊介绍:
Oral Diseases is a multidisciplinary and international journal with a focus on head and neck disorders, edited by leaders in the field, Professor Giovanni Lodi (Editor-in-Chief, Milan, Italy), Professor Stefano Petti (Deputy Editor, Rome, Italy) and Associate Professor Gulshan Sunavala-Dossabhoy (Deputy Editor, Shreveport, LA, USA). The journal is pre-eminent in oral medicine. Oral Diseases specifically strives to link often-isolated areas of dentistry and medicine through broad-based scholarship that includes well-designed and controlled clinical research, analytical epidemiology, and the translation of basic science in pre-clinical studies. The journal typically publishes articles relevant to many related medical specialties including especially dermatology, gastroenterology, hematology, immunology, infectious diseases, neuropsychiatry, oncology and otolaryngology. The essential requirement is that all submitted research is hypothesis-driven, with significant positive and negative results both welcomed. Equal publication emphasis is placed on etiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis, prevention and treatment.
