Abstract

Several laryngeal and thyroid carcinomas were studied immunohistochemically to evaluate whether the expression and distribution of integrins and basal lamina components can represent reproducible markers for correct diagnosis and prognosis. In laryngeal cancers, the depolarization and pericellular redistribution of α3β1 and α6β4, and focal or fragmentation of the basal lamina, according to tumor prognosis, occurred. In thyroid carcinomas, loss of polar topography of α3β1 and neo-expression of α6β4 in histopathologically or clinically aggressive cancers were observed. Therefore, the addition of a panel of adhesion molecules to the toolbox of surgical pathologists may improve diagnostic and prognostic procedures.
