Genetic mutation of transforming growth factor beta type II receptor in oral squamous cell carcinoma
2009-08-11
Abstract excerpt
ABSTRACT Background and aim: The deregulation of transforming growth factor β ( TGF‐β ) action and its signaling function has been a widely accepted concept in carcinogenesis. However, its dual roles, as a tumor suppressor gene and oncogene, have interfered in applying TGF‐β signaling to cancer therapeutics. To evaluate its role in the carcinogenesis of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), we performed mutational...
