In this study, the expression of an extended panel of EMT related markers (i. e. CDH1, LAMC2, SNAI1/2, ZEB1, ZEB2 and TWIST1) was examined in a large cohort of tumor samples consisting of OSCC at the invasive tumor front of the tumor, in order to shed light on important prognostic information [9–11]. The gene discussed is TWIST1; the disease is neoplasm.
