and amplifications of the isoforms of the ras oncogene in oral cancer. Further‚ we addressed the isoformspecific role of the ras in oral carcinogenesis. We also discussed how targeting the Akt and MEK‚ downstream effectors of the PI3K/Akt and MAPK pathways‚ respectively‚ would probably pave the possible molecular therapeutic target for the ras driven tumorigenesis in oral cancer. Analysis of these ras isoforms may critically enlighten specific role of a particular ras isoform in oral carcinogenesis
