Cancer cell migration and invasion are integral components of metastatic disease, which is
the major cause of death in cancer patients. Cancer cells can disseminate and migrate via …

High levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), fibroblast growth factor (FGF)-2
and angiopoietin (ANG)-2 are found in tissues from oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) …

The management and prognosis of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) depend on tumor
stage and lymph node (LN) metastasis status. Early-stage (T1/T2 N0M0) OSCC comprises a …

Objective This study aimed to evaluate the presence of human papillomavirus (HPV) and
Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) and the expression of p53, p16, E‐cadherin, COX‐2, MLH1, and …

Locoregional lymph nodes metastasis in oral tongue squamous cell carcinoma represents
one of important and common prognostic factors for poor clinical outcome. The human …

Perturbation of cell adhesion can be essential for tumor cell invasion and metastasis, but the
current knowledge on the gene expression of molecules that mediate cell adhesion in …

Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate the expression of Twist and E-cadherin in
lower lip squamous cell carcinoma (LLSCC) and their association with clinicopathologic …

Epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a process through which epithelial cells are
transformed into mesenchymal cells; EMT diminishes cell polarity and cell–cell adhesion in …

Objectives: Tissue architecture and cell morphology suffer profound alterations during oral
cancer and are important markers for its progression and outcome. For precise visualization …

Background A number of factors may be responsible for the differences in the biologic
behaviors of oral and lower lip squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs). Immunohistochemical …
