Comparative evaluation of Fascin-1 with clinicopathological parameters and recurrence in oral squamous cell carcinoma.
Background: Squamous cell carcinoma is the most common epithelial malignancy of the oral cavity. The 5-year survival rate is approximately 50% and is even lower, that is, 30% in the patients with recurrence of this disease. Because recurrence has a major influence on 5-year survival, it becomes imperative to identify the molecular elements responsible for the recurrence of oral squamous cell carcinoma.
Aim: To evaluate the expression of fascin-1 and its correlation with clinicopathological parameters and recurrence in the patients of oral squamous cell carcinoma.
Materials and methods: A cohort study was conducted in the Department of Oral Pathology, SPDC, Wardha. A 4 μm thick section from paraffin-embedded blocks of formalin-fixed biopsy tissues of 60 cases having primary oral squamous cell carcinoma was processed and stained with mouse monoclonal fascin-1 (Clone: SPM133) antibodies.
Results: In the present study, all cases which had a final score above 2, denotes a strong positive immunostaining of fascin in OSCC. Tumour size was significantly correlated with fascin expression, whereas no significant association was found for other parameters, such as age, gender, node involvement, and grade of the tumour and recurrence.
Conclusion: Fascin was found to be significantly correlated with tumour size. Fascin expression was found to be related with recurrence but no significant association exists. As recurrence is directly related to the poor prognosis and survival rate; so, it is essential to identify molecular markers indicative of recurrence. Fascin can be used to identify a subset of oral squamous cell carcinoma patients that are prone to recurrence.
期刊介绍：
The journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology [ISSN:print-(0973-029X, online-1998-393X)] is a tri-annual journal published on behalf of “The Indian Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathologists” (IAOMP). The publication of JOMFP was started in the year 1993. The journal publishes papers on a wide spectrum of topics associated with the scope of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology, also, ensuring scientific merit and quality. It is a comprehensive reading material for the professionals who want to upgrade their diagnostic skills in Oral Diseases; allows exposure to newer topics and methods of research in the Oral-facial Tissues and Pathology. New features allow an open minded thinking and approach to various pathologies. It also encourages authors to showcase quality work done by them and to compile relevant cases which are diagnostically challenging. The Journal takes pride in maintaining the quality of articles and photomicrographs.
