Agenesia dental y cáncer: Revisión de la literatura.
Palabras clave:
Agenesias dentales, hipodoncia, oligodoncia, cáncer, tumores, relación, asociación.Resumen
La agenesia dental es una alteración congénita del desarrollo dental que incluye hipodoncia, oligodoncia y anodoncia, y puede estar influenciada por factores genéticos, ambientales y epigenéticos. En esta revisión de literatura se describen los tipos de agenesia, los dientes más comúnmente afectados y los principales genes implicados como posibles marcadores predictivos como: AXIN2, FGF3, FGF10 y FGFR2. Asimismo, se analiza la evidencia disponible sobre la relación entre agenesia dental y predisposición a diferentes tipos de cáncer, especialmente cáncer colorrectal y de ovario. Aunque los resultados de los estudios no son completamente consistentes, la mayoría sugiere una posible asociación biológica mediada por vías de señalización compartidas, como Wnt/β-catenina. Se destaca la necesidad de continuar realizando investigaciones adicionales con metodologías homogéneas para esclarecer si la agenesia dental puede utilizarse como un indicador clínico temprano de riesgo oncológico, lo cual beneficiaria a los pacientes en poder diagnosticar a tiempo algún tipo de cáncer basados en la agenesia dental.
