## Abstract ## Background An understanding of the patterns, spread, and routes of tumor invasion of the mandible is essential in deciding the appropriate level and extent of mandibular resection in oral squamous cell carcinoma. ## Methods A prospective study of histologic patterns of tumor invas

The radiologic and histologic features of mandibular invasion, and its clinical implications, are considered in a retrospective series of 111 patients with squamous carcinomas of the oral cavity and oropharynx treated by composite resection. Eighty percent of the entire group had either recurrent or
The patterns of spread of squamous cell carcinoma within the mandible were investigated in 43 nonirradiated (33 edentulous and 10 partially dentate) and 16 irradiated mandibles. Two modes of spread were identified: (1) spread in relation to the inferior alveolar nerve, and (2) spread in spaces betwe
## Background: Serine proteases have important roles in tumor invasion and metastasis, and their inhibitors, serine protease inhibitors (serpins), are attractive targets for therapeutic strategies. on chromosome 18q21, there is a cluster of serpins: maspin, headpin, and squamous cell carcinoma anti
