Abstract:Background:
Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is the most common oral cavity cancer and may occur following oral epithelial dysplasia (OED). Cancer stem cells (CSCs) can self-renew and multi-directionally differentiate to promote tumorigenesis with high expression of cluster of differentiation (CD) 24 and CD44 markers. CSCs play a pivotal role in tumor development, drug resistance, and relapse after treatment. We aimed to evaluate the correlation between both marker expressions and clinicopatholo… Show more
