Popis: Objective: C-erbB-2 expression has been detected in 40 to 60% of head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC). With regard to preneoplastic lesions, thus suggesting that the loss of CerbB-2 expression is a carcinogenic molecular event. Study Design: This study was conducted on a total of 20 paraffin-embedded HNSCC samples, which were histopathologically diagnosed at the Department of Pathology of medicine Hospital between 2010 and 2011. Paraffin-embedded HNSCC samples 3 mm in thickness, were then cut. The slides were stained with C-erbB-2. Results: There was significant relationship between staining density and differentiation grade (R1⁄4 0,922671). Conclusions: Consequently, it was concluded that cerbB-2 is a poor prognostic factor in HNSCC like in breast tumour.
