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
The formation of new vessels (angiogenesis) is essential for primary tumour growth and metastasis and is induced by several angiogenic factors, including vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). The microvascular density (MVD) in tumours was assessed and the expression of VEGF and its receptors VE
