Integrated Analysis and MicroRNA Expression Profiling Identified Seven miRNAs Associated With Progression of Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma.

MicroRNAs have been used as diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers for many cancers including oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Several studies have been shown that microRNA (miRNA) play important roles during the progression of OSCC. However, the results vary largely in different studies due to different platforms and sample sizes.

[Expression of livin at the invasive tumor front of oral squamous cell carcinoma].

Objective: To study the expression of livin at the invasive tumor front of oral squamous cell carcinoma.

Methods: Forty-eight samples of oral squamous cell carcinoma were graded according to invasive front gading (IFG). The expression of livin was evaluated at the ITF and other parts of the same tumor using immunohistochemistry.
