Expression in fold change of miRNAs in cancer and pre-cancer tissues were calculated with respect to the normal oral tissues from healthy individuals.

^*Significant after independent t-test with P value < 0.05 and Benjamini-Hochberg multiple testing correction.

↑: upregulation; ↓: downregulation of expression.
