Tumor budding is associated with poor prognosis of oral squamous cell carcinoma and histologically represents an epithelial –mesenchymal transition process
In this study, we aimed to identify whether tumor budding is associated with the progression and prognosis of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) and investigate the correlation between tumor budding and regulators of epithelial –mesenchymal transition (EMT). Fifty-six cases of OSCC were selected and their tumor budding status was reviewed using archived hematoxylin and eosin-stained slides. In addition, the expression of EMT regulators was evaluated by immunohistochemistry using antibodies against Snail and Twist.
