BACKGROUND. The clinical course of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) varies considerably among patients. New biologic markers are needed to facilitate the stratification of individual patients within the conventional clinicopathologic stages of LSCC. METHODS. Eighty-three LSCCs from an equal

## Background and objectives: It is generally accepted that the overexpression of p53 protein is associated with poor prognosis in breast, colorectal, and other types of cancer. however, the prognostic significance of p53 aberrations in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma has yet to be determined. w
## Background and Objectives: The goal was to evaluate the clinicopathological significance of retinoblastoma gene product (pRB) expression in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. Methods: We investigated abnormal pRB expression in tumors in 191 patients using an immunohistochemical method in conjun
## Background: Squamous cell carcinoma (scc) of the esophagus is among the most malignant of neoplasms and is associated with a dismal prognosis. although tumor microvessel density (mvd) is an important prognostic factor in several carcinomas, its role in scc of the esophagus is still controversial
We investigated immunohistochemically the clinical relevance of the over-expression of the apoptosis-regulating proteins p53 and bcl-2 in a homogeneous series of 149 laryngeal squamous-cell carcinomas. p53 was over-expressed in 75 cases and bcl-2 in 39 cases. p53 and bcl-2 co-expression was found in
