Primary Outcome(s)

Global gene response of dysplastic tissue as assessed by Affymetrix gene expression microarrays [Time Frame: No]
Protein expression as assessed by ELISA and immunohistochemistry for VEGFA [Time Frame: No]
Comparison of WHO histological grade and clinical size of dysplastic lesions before and after treatment and assessment of proliferating cell nuclear antigen [Time Frame: No]
VEGF mRNA expression as assessed by qRT-PCR [Time Frame: No]
