## Abstract ## Background Parathyroid hormoneβrelated protein (PTHrP) is mainly responsible for hypercalcemia in squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs). ## Methods We retrospectively checked the appearance of hypercalcemia among 33 patients who died with head and neck SCC. Serum concentrations of Cβter
Circulating prostaglandins, including thromboxane A2 and prostacyclin, have been implicated as possible facilitative agents in the growth and dissemination of squamous cell carcinomas of the head and neck. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship of plasma concentrations of these c
## Abstract ## Background The laminin (LN) Ξ³2 chain expression has been linked to tumor invasion and prognosis. To provide a convenient clinical use, procedures that analyze LNΞ³2 expression by using the serum and/or urine of patients should be developed. ## Methods The serum concentrations of th
