Objective: To identify potential markers of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC).
Design: By analyzing data from our laboratory, coupled with a systematic review of the literature, we selected 6 genes (CDH11, MMP3, POSTN, SPARC, TNC, and TGM3) to study via quantitative reverse transcriptase–polymerase chain reaction analysis (qRT-PCR) and tissue microarray (TMA) immunohistochemistry (IHC).
