Research Abstract |
Maspin expression in oral squamous cell carcinoma(OSCC) was detected in 64.8%. Patients with positive maspin expression had a significantly better prognosis. In contrast, maspin expression was lower in mode of invasion(Yamamoto-Kohama Critria) 4D type with high invasive potential. Moreover, Maspin expression showed a negative correlation with uPA/uPAR expression in the uPA/uPAR system. Expression pattern, uPA(+)/uPAR(+)/Maspin(-), exhibited a stronger invasive potential and the worst survival rate than other invasive grades of OSCC.
