Popis: Background and objectives: Laminin is a significant basement membrane (BM) glycoprotein, the expression of which reflects BM integrity more precisely than do other ECM proteins. The present study aimed to evaluate laminin expression in oral squamous cell carcinomas OSCC and to determine any associations with clinico-pathological parameters (surgical margin status, lymph node involvement, survival and recurrence). Methods: Laminin expression was evaluated in 31 cases of biopsy-proven OSCC by immunohistochemical staining and its association with prognosticators and the Brynes grading system was determined by appropriate statistical analysis. Results: We observed a significant increase in linear staining pattern (p
