We investigated the expression and biological significance of heat shock protein (HSP)-27 in patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). The expression of HSP-27 was quantified immunohistochemically in specimens from 37 patients with oral SCC. Findings were correlated with lymph node metastases, effect of chemotherapy, and survival. The presence of HSP-27 was identified in 31 of the 37 specimens (84%). Expression was low in 4 patients (11%), intermediate in 13 (35%), and high in 14 (38%). There were significant differences in the therapeutic effect of chemotherapy (Oboshi-Shimosato's grade) and prognosis in relation to expression of HSP-27. We found no correlation between the extent of expression of HSP-27 and stage or differentiation of the tumour. (C) 2006 The British Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons.
