摘要:: Tongue squamous cell carcinoma makes up a large percentage of head and neck cancers, and the incidence among young patients is increasing. The aim of this study was to reveal the correlation between cyclin D1 (CCND1) expression and clinical and histologic features. We performed an immunohistochemical study on the level of CCND1 expression in tumor specimens obtained from 94 patients with tongue squamous cell carcinoma. The relationship between the expression and the following features such as age, sex, smoking and alcohol intake history, T, N, histologic grade, and multiple primary cancer was analyzed. Eighteen patients (19%) showed CCND1 overexpression (tumor cell nuclei positivity >/=50%). The 5-year survival rate of high CCND1 expressors was 39%, which was significantly poor (p=0.04). N classification correlated with CCND1 expression. CCND1 overexpression is associated with poor survival associated with progression of lymph node spread in patients with tongue squamous cell carcinomas. CCND1 expression may be a useful biologic marker for prognosis.
