## Background: Expression of fas receptors renders tumor cells potentially susceptible to the host immune system. in squamous cell carcinomas of the head and neck, fas has recently been found to be down-regulated in some cases; its prognostic value and correlation with clinicopathologic parameters,
We investigated immunohistochemically the clinical relevance of the over-expression of the apoptosis-regulating proteins p53 and bcl-2 in a homogeneous series of 149 laryngeal squamous-cell carcinomas. p53 was over-expressed in 75 cases and bcl-2 in 39 cases. p53 and bcl-2 co-expression was found in
## Background: Squamous cell carcinoma (scc) of the esophagus is among the most malignant of neoplasms and is associated with a dismal prognosis. although tumor microvessel density (mvd) is an important prognostic factor in several carcinomas, its role in scc of the esophagus is still controversial
The current treatment paradigm for patients with advanced laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma continues to evolve. The authors assembled a panel of experts from the fields of medical oncology, radiation oncology, and surgery to discuss treatment options and to defend their positions.
## 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).
