Outline of Final Research Achievements |
To examine whether AID (activation-induced deaminase) is expressed in human squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), we performed an anti-AID immunostaining. Forty nine SCC tumors out of 97 cases were AID positive. All tumors in 8 cases with local recurrence expressed AID. All SCC specimens in 14 cases with lymph node metastasis and 2 cases with lung metastasis were positive for anti-AID immunostaining. Taken together, AID expression may be a prognostic marker for cutaneous SCC.
