## Abstract ## BACKGROUND. Lymphatic vessel density (LVD) and microvessel density (MVD) are important parameters for assessing the malignant potential of tumors and patient survival. In this report, the authors defined LVD as the density of D2β40βpositive lymphatic vessels and MVD as the density o
ADAM (a disintegrin and metalloproteinases) are a recently discovered gene family of proteins with sequence similarity to the reprolysin family of snake venom metalloproteinases, and about one-third of the family members have the catalytic site consensus sequence in their metalloproteinase domains.
## Abstract The relationship between the mode of tumor invasion in the tumorβhost borderline and the frequency of regional lymph node metastasis was investigated in squamous cell carcinoma of the oral cavity. Cases with grades 1β3 mode of invasion classified by modified Jacobsson criteria showed a
