CAV1 and oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma: Some studies on CAV1 in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) showedan increased immunoexpression of CAV1 in SCC tissue when compared to normal mucosa andprecancerous (dysplastic) lesions130),and it was even found to be significantly over-expressed in OSCC compared to normal oralmucosa (p = 0.002 and p = 0.033, respectively) when usingimmunohistochemistry to demonstrate that patients with over-expression of Cav-1 protein wereassociated with poor prognosis (p = 0.030).131
