The ABH isoantigen was investigated in 80 patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the oral cavity and in their 46 affected lymph nodes. Isoantigen deletion shows a characteristic pattern of benign to malignant transformation of oral cancer. Total loss of isoantigen was found in anaplastic tumours,
## Abstract ## Background Extracapsular spread (ECS) in the cervical lymph nodes represents the most significant adverse prognostic indicator in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). ## Methods In a consecutive cohort of OSCC treated by primary surgery, ECS was seen in 25% (101) of 400 patients.
## 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
