Background. Urokinase-type plasminogen activator is important for matrix degradation and motility of cancer cells. For effective invasion, urokinase has to be associated with its cell surface receptor. 1 Methods. We analyzed 33 head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (hnSCC) and 14 mucosal tissue sam

## Background: Inhibition of apoptosis, or programmed cell death, may be critical both in the development of cancer and in determining response to therapy. the authors examined the expression of two related apoptotic inhibitors, bcl-2 and bcl-xl, in pretreatment biopsies from a series of 42 patient
Mutation of the p53 tumor suppressor gene has been demonstrated in a large proportion of human head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCCs) and has been assumed to play a role in the pathogenesis of these tumors, although no formal evidence of functional aberration has been demonstrated. In this
Recently, attention has focused on the potential of oncogenes, tumour suppressor genes, and assessment of cell proliferation as biological response indicators in human cancer. In this study, immunocytochemical analysis was used to evaluate the usefulness of Ki67, epidermal growth factor receptor (EG
