Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study aimed to propose new treatment methodology for lymph node metastasis in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Especially we focused on CD44, colony stimulating factor-1(CSF-1) and receptor (CSF-1R) expression in the tumor microenvironment in OSCC. Our data showed that CD44 strong expression group was significantly related to locally progressive, lymph node metastasis, and prognosis. However, it did not fine the significantly relation between CSF-1(M-CSF) / CSF-1R and clinicopathological factors. In conclusion CD44 expression in the tumor microenvironment in OSCC might be become the treatment target for prevent the locally progressive, lymph node metastasis.
