Purpose: The correlation of CSE1L (human chromosomal segregation 1-like) staining intensity with disease-free survival, disease recurrence and development of distant metastases in Advanced Laryngeal Tumors.

Methods: Specimens of patients with advanced glottic larynx cancer (T3, T4) were evaluated for nuclear CSE1L staining intensity. According to mild, moderate and severe CSE1L staining, patients were compared in terms of disease-free survival, disease recurrence and development of distant metastases.
