摘要
The aim of this article was to evaluate the expression of E-cadherin and CD44 adhesion molecule in oral tongue squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) since inappropriate expression of adhesion molecules raises the metastatic ability of the tumor cells. Biopsy specimens from 92 patients with tongue SCC were examined for the expression of E-cadherin and CD44 by immunohistochemistry. The relationship of immunoreactivity with tumor stage and cervical lymph node metastasis was then analyzed. Sixty-one patients (66.3%) had reduced or negative staining for CD44. Weak or absent staining for E-cadherin was seen in 14 patients (15.21%). Cervical lymph node metastasis is associated with decreased or negative staining for CD44, but no association was found between E-cadherin immunoreactivity and nodal metastasis. Our study reveals that reduced expression of CD44 could be an indicator of high invasiveness of tumor by increasing cervical lymph node metastasis. (C) 2011 Elsevier GmbH. All rights reserved.
