Abstract: Objective To observe the infiltration situation of Langerhans cells(LC)in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma tissue and to investigate its clinical significance.Methods Seventy-two cases of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma were selected and the tumor tissue in all cases was operatively resected.The immunohistochemical SP method was adopted to detect the infiltration situation of LC in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma tissue.Then the relationship between the LC infiltration degree with tumor stage,relapse,metastasis and prognosis was analyzed.Results Among 72 cases of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma,27 cases(37.5％)were LC infiltration degree of +,37 cases(37.5％)were ++ and 18 cases(25.0％)were +++.The LC infiltration degree in laryngeal carcinoma tissue was correlated with the cervical lymph node metastasis,recurrence,disease free survival,3-year survival and 5-year survival(P＜0.05),and had no correlation with the age,classification,TNM stage and postoperative radiotherapy(P>0.05).Conclusion LC infiltration can be seen in the tumor tissue of the patients with laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma.The LC infiltration degree is higher,indicating that the prognosis would be better.
