## Abstract Oral squamous cell carcinoma is a disfiguring, highly invasive and metastatic cancer. Despite advances in detection and therapy, many patients will continue to face a poor prognosis. It is well established that the predominate factor determining overall survival in patients with oral sq
We previously showed that the extracellular matrix component tenascin-C (TN-C) is upregulated in oral squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) compared with the normal oral mucosa. In this study we examined oral biopsy specimens of mild to moderate dysplasia or carcinoma in situ to study TN-C expression. We fo
