The role of survivin in oral squamous cell carcinoma

Liang Rong, Hongyan Guo, Ke Liu

Tumor samples were collected from 30 patients who were suffered with squamous cell carcinoma of the oral cavity. The patients were treated by radical surgical resection between 2012 and 2015 at the Jinling hospital. There were 24 patients who were positive for survivin (80.0%) and 6 patients who were negative for survivin (20.0%). Compared with normal mucosa, there were significantly up-regulated survivin and caspase 9 in OSCC which were proved by Flow Cytometry (FCM) and western blot, respectively. In conclusion, survivin and Caspase 9 might be prognostic markers for Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma (OSCC).
