Chlorine and Chromium Elements, Proteins of Oxidative Stress and Dna Repair Pathways Are Related to Tumor Aggressiveness and Prognosis of Patients With Oral Cancer
Abstract:BackgroundSquamous cell carcinoma (OCSCC), the most frequent cancer of the oral cavity, is extremely aggressive, the response to treatment is poor and markers for prognosis of disease are scarce. The comparison of chemical and histopathological data obtained from the analysis of excised tumor fragments with the demographic and clinical evolution data is an effective strategy scarcely explored in OCSCC studies. The aim was to analyse OCSCC tissues for trace elements and protein expression of enzymes related wit… Show more
