[Tumor escaping mechanisms present in microenvironment of laryngeal cancer].

In tumor tissue obtained from a group of 21 patients treated surgically for laryngeal carcinoma, the expression of Fas, Fas-L, CD3, TCR zeta chain and Bcl-2 were estimated. It has been shown that tumor often express: Fas-L, Fas, Bcl-2, the molecules which may influence increased tumor survival. On the other hand lack of MHC class I antigen expression on tumor cells frequently has been observed.
