Tumour associated tissue eosinophilia as a predictor of locoregional recurrence in oral squamous cell carcinoma

Abstract

Analysis of TATE in OSCC patients may provide an early indication of future locoregional recurrence. Identification of an appropriate biopsy site representing the ITF where TATE analysis can be performed may be a simple, inexpensive method of obtaining valuable prognostic information at the time of diagnosis. Key words:Tumour associated tissue eosinophilia, oral cancer, prognosis.
