this study Aimes to Investigate CXCR4 expression in primary head
and neck squamous cell carcinomas tumors in all clinical stages and
histological grades, then compare it with control normal oral
epithelial tissues.
Compare metastatic lymph nodes
CXCR4 expression with their
primary HNSCC tumors at high stages which associated with
metastatic lymph nodes.
The protein p53 is the guardian of the cell gene contents from changes, and the
gene that produces it is called Tumor Suppressor Gene which mutates in 50% of Squamous cell
carcinoma’s cases producing defective protein .Studies have not detailed the
expression ratio of the
defective protein Within the cancer cells, also studies have less details about the cases which did not show
a mutated protein.
