Popis: BACKGROUND Monocytes, which subdivided into three functional subsets (classical, intermediate, and nonclassical), play important roles in the progression of cancer. The subset composition is altered in several pathologic conditions including cancers. However, the composition and function of circulating monocyte subsets in patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) are still obscure. METHODS The frequencies of monocyte subsets in peripheral blood of patients with OSCC and healthy donors are determined by flow cytometry, and their diagnostic values for OSCC were evaluated. The associations between levels of monocyte subsets and clinicopathological features of patients with OSCC were analyzed using cross-tabulation with the chi-square test. RESULTS We demonstrated that the frequency of CD14++ CD16+ intermediate monocytes was remarkably increased (P 0.05). The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis indicated that the frequency of intermediate monocytes (AUC = 0.810, P
