## Abstract ## Background. Cysteineβrich 61 (Cyr61 [CCN1]) has disparate functions in tumorigenesis that are dependent on the cell types. The aim of the study was to investigate its role in the growth of oral squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). ## Methods. The study used immunohistochemistry to exami

During the progression of many cancers, cell-cell adhesion molecules, e.g., E-cadherin (EC), may be down-regulated. In a number of carcinomas, EC has been described as an independent prognostic variable. We have studied the expression of adhesion molecules participating in cadherin-catenin complexes
## Abstract ## BACKGROUND Insular thyroid carcinoma was described originally as a tumor with aggressive behavior. However, whether a predominant insular component is an independent factor for poor prognosis is unclear. ## METHODS The authors compared the clinical behavior of tumors in three grou
Down-regulation of the cell-surface adhesion molecule CD44 has been suggested to play an important role in tumor progression and metastasis of prostate cancer. CD44 is encoded by a gene that contains a CpG-rich region (CpG island) in its 5Π regulatory sequence. We tried to assess whether hypermethyl
## Abstract Proteins of the lysyl oxidase (LOX) family are important modulators of the extracellular matrix. However, they have an important role in the tumour development as well as in tumour progression. To evaluate the diagnostic and prognostic value of the LOX protein in oral and oropharyngeal
