INTRODUCTION: Occurrence of apoptosis and expression of proliferative markers are powerful tools to establish a prognosis in the follow-up of cancer. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the growth fraction in papillomas and laryngeal squamous cell carcinomas with three degrees of differentiation through apoptosis and...

Morphometric Analysis of Nucleus and Nucleolar Organizer Regions (NORs) in Tongue Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC)

The tongue is one of the most likely places for the primary squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) to arise in the western world.This work intends to do a morphometric evaluation of the cellular nucleus, as well as a morphometric analysis of the nucleolar organizer regions (NORs). The biopsy specimen was removed ...
