p53 Immunoexpression in Oral Squamous Cell Carcinomas from Different Anatomical Sites: A Comparative Study
p53 alterations have been implicated in oral carcinogenesis process. Squamous cell carcinoma is the most common malignancy of the oral cavity, the tongue being the most frequent affected site. The aim of this study was to compare p53 immunoexpression in 43 samples of oral SCC from 5 different anatom...
