The clinical significance of PTHrP overexpression was analyzed in 93 patients with HNSCCs. (A) PTHrP expression was detected in poorly differentiated, moderately differentiated and well differentiated specimens and in normal epithelial specimens, as shown by immunohistochemistry. (B) Kaplan-Meier survival curves illustrating the overall survival of 93 patients with HNSCC according to the PTHrP protein levels. (C) Two patients with base of tongue squamous cell carcinoma in this study were positive for HPV16/18 and p16 expression using ISH and IHC methods.
