摘要
The immunoreactivity of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) was studied in laryngeal biopsy specimens from 24 patients. The study comprised 5 cases of normal laryngeal mucosa, 5 cases of dysplasia, 7 cases of well differentiated squamous cell carcinoma, and 7 cases of poorly to moderately differentiated squamous cell carcinoma. EGFR was in general not expressed in normal and dysplastic epithelia, whilst all carcinomas showed a rather strong positive immunoreactivity. There was no significant difference in staining patterns between the well and poorly to moderately differentiated carcinomas. The results suggest that EGFR constitutes a component of neoplastic, but probably not preneoplastic, laryngeal disease. The study failed to reveal any difference in staining pattern between different types of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma. © 1990 Informa UK Ltd All rights reserved: reproduction in whole or part not permitted.
