Abstract

Introduction: The aim of the present research was to study the expression of activated-leukocyte cell adhesion molecule (ALCAM) in oral squamus cell carcinoma (OSCC) and its association with histopathological and prognostic parameters. Materials and Methods: In a cross-sectional study, samples of OSCC tumors from tongue and oral mucosa available in Institute of Cancer of Imam Hospital in Tehran were simultaneously studied in term of tumor size, lymph node metastasis, and differentiation and ALCAM expression. Analysis was performed using multiple logistic regression models. Results: 39 samples of tongue and 19 samples of oral medusa belonged to 35 men and 23 women with mean (Standard deviation) of age 58(15.69) years of old were studied. More than half of lesions had good differentiation and lymph node metastasis. From all, 42 (72.4%) of samples were positive of ALCAM. Odds of ALCAM total expression in tumors with size of at least 20 mm was more (OR=3.9, p=0.001). Odds ratios for membranous and cytoplasmic expression of ALCAM in positive samples of lymph node metastasis (OR=0.4, p=0.03) and in patients with age 40 and more (OR=2.7, p=0.002) were respectively significant. Conclusion: The study confirmed positive relationship between ALCAM expression and tumor size as while as ambiguity of ALCAM role as a "Paradox" indicator. Next researches may make the role of ALCAM in different phases of tumor developing clearer
