LID - 10.3390/cancers12082059 [doi] LID - 2059 AB - Small pretreatment laryngeal biopsies may not fully represent a tumor's biological profile. This study on laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) aimed to investigate the prognostic role of CD105- and CD31-assessed microvessel density (MVD) in paired biopsies and surgical specimens and the association and discrepancy between CD105- and CD31-assessed MVD in biopsies and surgical specimens. CD105- and CD31-assessed MVD was analyzed in paired biopsies and surgical specimens of 45 consecutive cases of LSCC. In the LSCC biopsies and surgical specimens, median CD105-assessed MVD was significantly higher in N+ than in N0 cases (p = 0.0008, and p = 0.0002, respectively). Disease-free survival (DFS) was associated with CD105- and CD31-assessed MVD in both biopsies and surgical specimens (p < 0.0001 for all specimens). Multivariable Cox's regression showed that pathological grade (p < 0.0001) and CD105-assessed MVD in LSCC biopsies (p = 0.0209) predicted DFS. Lin's concordance coefficient showed that CD31 overestimated MVD compared with CD105 in LSCC biopsies and surgical specimens. CD105-assessed MVD should be further investigated in larger LSCC series as a potential prognostic marker for identifying: patients at higher risk of recurrence who might warrant more aggressive therapy; and cN0 patients requiring elective neck dissection for a significant risk of regional metastasis.
