  1. Some data of tumor differentiation, LVSI and LN metastasis are not available on retrospective chart review. SCC, squamous cell carcinoma; LVSI, lymphovascular space invasion; a normal sample was constructed with nonadjacent normal epithelium from tumor in same patient, bIHC staining of each marker was evaluated with available tumor cores from 209 CIN, 74 CIS and 179 cancer cores.
