Abstract

Introduction
Oral cancer has a 5-year survival rate of 50% because diagnosis is commonly performed at an advanced stage of the disease, so new diagnostic tools are needed. Nowadays, there is a vast number of publications suggesting the use of salivary biomarkers for oral cancer and potentially malignant disorders diagnosis, but their diagnostic accuracy is unclear. Thus, the goal of this systematic review is to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of salivary biomarkers for oral cancer and potentially malignant disorders.

Methods
This protocol is reported according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Protocols (PRISMA-P). We will include primary studies assessing the diagnostic accuracy of salivary biomarkers for oral cancer and potentially malignant disorders. Studies must report data about sensitivity and specificity; gold standard must be the histopathology diagnosis. We will search MEDLINE, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library, and gray literature. Two authors will independently select the studies and extract the data. The methodology quality of studies will be determined using the Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies (QUADAS-2).

Expected results and conclusion
Our findings will provide information about the diagnostic accuracy of salivary biomarkers for oral cancer and potentially malignant disorders.

Introducción
El cáncer oral tiene una tasa de supervivencia a los cinco años de 50%, debido a que frecuentemente su diagnóstico es realizado en estadios avanzados. Por lo tanto, son necesarias nuevas ayudas diagnósticas. Actualmente, existe un número significativo de publicaciones científicas sugiriendo el uso de biomarcadores salivales para el diagnóstico de cáncer oral. Sin embargo, son desconocidas las propiedades diagnósticas de estos biomarcadores. El objetivo de esta revisión sistemática es evaluar la evidencia sobre la precisión diagnóstica de biomarcadores salivales usados en la identificación de cáncer oral y desórdenes potencialmente malignos.

Métodos
Este protocolo es reportado en concordancia con el Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Protocols (PRISMA-P). Se incluirán estudios evaluando la precisión diagnóstica de biomarcadores salivales para cáncer oral y desórdenes potencialmente malignos. Estos deberán reportar sensibilidad y especificidad, y utilizar como estándar de referencia un diagnóstico histopatológico. Se realizará una búsqueda en MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane Library y literatura gris. Dos autores independientemente seleccionarán los estudios y extraerán los datos. La calidad metodológica de los estudios será determinada usando The Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies (QUADAS-2).

Resultados esperados y conclusión
Los hallazgos de esta revisión sistemática proporcionarán información acerca de la precisión diagnóstica de los biomarcadores salivales para diagnóstico de cáncer oral y desórdenes potencialmente malignos.
