Maspin and MCM2 immunoprofiling in salivary gland carcinomas
BACKGROUND The pathogenesis of salivary gland carcinomas is very complex and prognostic markers are difficult to find in these carcinomas of which the different subtypes have varying malignant potential. The study was conducted to examine the cellular distribution of maspin and MCM2 in salivary gland carcinomas and their value to predict lymph node metastasis. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifty thre...
متن کاملConsistent absence of BRAF mutations in salivary gland carcinomas
Introduction: Malignant salivary gland tumors are rare entities. Despite advances in surgery, radiation therapy and chemotherapy, the rate of the mortality and five-year survival has not been improved markedly over the last few decades. The activation of EGFR- RAS-RAF signaling pathway contributes to the initiation and progression of many human cancers, promising a key pathway for therapeutic m...
متن کاملSalivary Gland Carcinomas
Many malignant tumours other than squamous cell carcinoma may present in the oral cavity. Melanomas of the oral cavity are usually pigmented, aggressive tumours associated with a poor prognosis. Neoplasms of the minor salivary glands have a greater tendency to be malignant than those of the major glands, and some exhibit a predilection for occurring in the mouth. Many types of connective tissue...
متن کاملMaspin as a tumour suppressor in salivary gland tumour.
Maspin is a protein that belongs to serin protease inhibitor (serpin) superfamily. The purpose of this study was to review the literature concerning the expression of maspin in salivary gland tumours. A literature search was done using MEDLINE, accessed via the National Library of Medicine PubMed interface. Statistical analysis was not done because only seven studies were available in literatur...
متن کاملExpression of TPX2 in salivary gland carcinomas.
TPX2 is a microtubule-associated protein and is required for microtubule formation at kinetochores in mammalian cells. The purpose of this study was to clarify the expression of TPX2 mRNA and correlation between TPX2 and clinicopathological factors in salivary gland carcinomas. The expression of TPX2 mRNA was investigated in 20 human salivary gland carcinomas (8 mucoepidermoid carcinomas, 7 ade...
