Abstract

RGS16 protein expression in 84 cases of oral squamous cell carcinoma(OSCC) was examined by immunohistochemical staining method.RGS16 protein expression was positive in 78 out of the 84 cases.The expression was associated with the clinical stage of OSCC(P ＜ 0.05),but not with patient's age,gender,degree of differentiation and lymph node metastasis(P ＞ 0.05).
