Expression of basement membrane laminin in oral squamous cell carcinomas.

Unlabelled: The basement membrane is a dynamic structure that undergoes quantitative and qualitative changes during the progression of squamous cell carcinoma, which is essentially important in tumoral invasion and metastasis.

Aim: This study is aimed at investigating the behavior of the basement membrane in oral squamous cell carcinomas with different malignancy scores, which were obtained through the immunohistochemical expression of the laminin, a glycoprotein present in the basement membrane.

Study Design: History cross-sectional cohort.
