## Background: The prognostic significance of the invasive tumor front in squamous cell carcinomas has recently been recognized. the aim of the present study was to investigate possible molecular mechanisms underlying the significance of this area in oral squamous cell carcinomas. ## Methods: We

In the last decade, silver staining of nucleolar organizer region-associated proteins (AgNORs) has been widely used in tumour pathology both for diagnostic and for prognostic purposes. However, a reliable and reproducible assessment of these proteins on routinely processed archival tissues has only
## Abstract ## __Background.__ Tumor invasion involves complex interactions between tumor and stromal cells. We examined the extent of connective tissue in the tumor stroma and whether myofibroblasts play a role in assisting cancer invasion and metastasis. ## __Methods.__ Biopsy materials from 8
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
Epithelial dysplasia is usually used to establish the prognosis of oral premalignant lesions. Its assessment, however, is subjective and does not always correctly predict the outcome of the lesions in terms of malignant transformation. Early molecular alteration(s) that dictate the development of ca
The characteristics of the deep invasive front area of squamous cell carcinomas may reflect turnout prognosis better than other parts of the turnout. Consequently, the authors have recently developed a simple malignancy grading system based solely on the characteristics of the deep invasive front ar
