PG - 2232-2238 LID - 10.3892/ol.2017.6386 [doi] AB - The present study investigated the prognostic significance of Wnt family member 5a (Wnt5a) and receptor tyrosine kinase-like orphan receptor 2 (Ror2) expression in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC). The protein expression levels of Wnt5a and Ror2 were analyzed in specimens from 137 patients with LSCC, using immunohistochemical staining of tissue microarrays and pairs of LSCC and adjacent tissue samples, and examined the associations between the two markers and various clinicopathological parameters. The Wnt5a and Ror2 expression levels were significantly higher in LSCC tissues than in normal tissue samples (Wnt5a, P=0.015; Ror2, P=0.039), and were significantly associated with high tumor stage (P<0.001), lymph node metastasis (Wnt5a, P=0.029; Ror2, P=0.018), and with each other (P=0.002). Patients with LSCC with high Wnt5a or Ror2 expression had poorer prognosis compared with those with low Wnt5a (P=0.022) or Ror2 (P=0.038) expression. Thus, Wnt5a and Ror2 may affect LSCC development, and are potential biomarkers in LSCC.
