## Abstract ## Background Apoptosis is a genetically programmed form of cell death, of which caspases are the central components. ## Methods By tissue microarray of 229 cases of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), we analyzed the immunoexpression of caspases 3, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10. ## Results
## Abstract Surgery and radiotherapy are standard treatments for early oral squamous cell carcinoma, both resulting in good tumour control. However, neither of these modalities is without consequent functional or cosmetic impairment, and there are patients in whom both are contraindicated. Furtherm
## Abstract ## Objectives/Hypothesis: Previous studies have demonstrated a relationship between elevated serum squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) antigen (SCCβAg) levels and shorter survival in cancer patients. Few studies, however, have investigated the role of serum SCCβAg levels in oral SCC (OSCC).
