Background/aim: This study analyzed moesin immunoexpression in 91 lip squamous cell carcinomas and its influence in patients' prognosis.

Materials And Methods: Moesin immunoexpression was evaluated at the invasive tumor front by a semi-quantitative score method. The association of moesin with the clinicopathological variables was analyzed by the Chi-square test, the survival rates were calculated by Kaplan-Meier and the survival curves compared using the log-rank test.
