Vascular invasion and lymph node metastasis have been used as histopathological prognosticators of cancers including oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). In addition to metastatic potential via blood vessels, tumor-induced angiogenesis might also be associated with prognosis. However, the efficacy of combined evaluation of vascular invasion and angiogenesis-associated molecules for the prognosis of OSCC remains obscure. This is also the case in lymph node metastasis and lymphovasculogenesis-associated molecules. The aim of this study was to examine factors related to prognosis to improve the accuracy of prognostic prediction of OSCC using vasculogenesis-associated markers. Ninety specimens of patients from 1991 to 2002 with previously untreated OSCC, who underwent either biopsy or surgery, were histopathologically and immunohistochemically analyzed using antibodies for vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-A, VEGF-C, cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 and Midkine. The ninety cases were composed of 72 well-differentiated, 12 moderately differentiated and 6 poorly differentiated OSCC. Efficient models of prognostic prediction were evaluated by extensive statistical analyses. The presence of vascular invasion or lymph node metastasis was confirmed to be significantly associated with poor prognosis in the univariate analysis. Multivariate logic regression analysis suggested that patients with the strongly positive expression of either VEGF-A or VEGF-C had a significant association with poor prognosis even in patients without vascular invasion and in early-stage patients. Neither COX-2 nor Midkine contributed to predict the prognosis of the patients. The strongly positive expression of VEGF-A or VEGF-C was suggested to reinforce the histopathological diagnosis of vascular invasion and improve the accuracy and efficacy of prognostic prediction of OSCC.
