Abstract:
Objective:To evaluate the significance of expression of laminin (LN) and vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF) in adenoid cystic carcinoma of salivary glands. Methods:Ultrasensitive immunohistochemical staining(S-P) was used to examine LN and VEGF expression in specimens from 34 patients with adenoid cystic carcinoma of salivary glands.Results:Higher LN expression was found in adenoid or tubular type of the cases (P0.05). Higher VEGF expression was found in stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ of the tumor (P0.05). Conclusion: LN and VEGF expression may be served as one of the predictors for the biological behavior of adenoid cystic carcinoma of salivary glands.
