BACKGROUND. The clinical course of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) varies considerably among patients. New biologic markers are needed to facilitate the stratification of individual patients within the conventional clinicopathologic stages of LSCC. METHODS. Eighty-three LSCCs from an equal
BACKGROUND. Bax, Bcl-2, and p53 proteins are involved in the regulation of apoptosis and have been reported to correlate with prognosis in several tumor types. ## METHODS. Bax, Bcl-2, p53, and the level of spontaneous apoptosis were evaluated in formalin fixed, paraffin embedded pretreatment speci
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
