The stats are that only 5-18% of patients diagnosed with epithelial dysplasia end up with getting oral cancer. It is a 'pre-cancer'. Not every patient who has dysplasia will become a cancer patient. There is lots of info on the main OCF pages about dysplasia. Here is a link to the info.... Dysplasia
