Nerve cell adhesion molecule expression in squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck: A predictor of propensity toward perineural spread
1 May 1999
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (SCCAs) for the expression of nerve cell adhesion molecule (N-CAM). We propose that expression of N-CAM by tumor cells may be associated with perineural invasion in SCCA of the head and neck. METHODS: Seventy-six archived specimens of histologically proven SCCA were analyzed by immunohistochemistry for the expression of N-CAM. Positive and negative...
