## Abstract Cancer cell invasion is facilitated by extracellular matrix degrading proteases such as plasmin. We have studied the expression of plasminogen activator inhibitor‐1 (PAI‐1) and urokinase receptor (uPAR) together with the γ2‐chain of laminin‐5 (lam‐γ2) by immunohistochemistry in 20 cases
Numerous reports have shown an association between overexpression of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), and poor prognosis in head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC), however, the underlying mechanisms are still unclear. In the present study, we set out to determine whether EGFR exp
