## Abstract In patients with early head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), occult lymph node metastasis is difficult to predict by clinical or pathological parameters. However, such parameters are necessary to select patients either for elective neck dissection or the sentinel lymph node (SL

## Abstract ## Background Apoptosis is a genetically programmed form of cell death, of which caspases are the central components. ## Methods By tissue microarray of 229 cases of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), we analyzed the immunoexpression of caspases 3, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10. ## Results
## Abstract ## Objectives/Hypothesis: Previous studies have demonstrated a relationship between elevated serum squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) antigen (SCC‐Ag) levels and shorter survival in cancer patients. Few studies, however, have investigated the role of serum SCC‐Ag levels in oral SCC (OSCC).
A transmembrane glycoprotein recently identified on some tumor cells, extracellular matrix metalloproteinase inducer (EMMPRIN), has been shown to induce metalloproteinase (MMP) production by peritumor fibroblasts (PTF). We examined biopsy specimens of normal human oral mucosa and oral squamous cell
Background. In patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), the presence of lymph node metastases is the most important prognosticator. Sentinel node (SN) biopsy has been shown to be an accurate staging technique for patients with breast cancer and melanoma and might also be suited f
