Özet

Aim: Laryngeal cancers are the most common tumors in the respiratory system after the lung and bronchial system. It is important to identify new biological markers which may also help us to understand the molecular and biological mechanisms of tumor development. SOX2 is a cancer stem cell, that is an indicator of lymph node metastasis, biomarker or potential therapeutic target in some cancer types. The aim of this study is to investigate whether there is a correlation between SOX2 expression and the clinicopathological features of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma.
