Identify when OSMF has become cancerous

2020-09-06 12:09:29
Diagnosed with OSMF in May 2019. Initially mouth opening was limited, but with around 2 month of medication and mouth exercise the opening of mouth has improved. However, the white patch(fibrosis) never completely disappeared, in fact it has worsened lately. Currently, the mouth opening is good, but has mild burning sensation most of the time.  What should be the next course of action? What are the chances that the OSMF has turned cancerous?
