Objective:
To study the role of ICE in Laryngeal Carcinoma.
Method:
Using polyclonal antibody for ICE gene protein, 73 cases of laryngeal carcinoma, 30 cases dysplasia and 5 cases normal were stained by SP immunohistochemistry.
Result:
ICE protein is situated mainly in the upper of epithelium and a little in the basal layer. Compared with the normal epithelium, the expression of ICE in the dysplasia is decreased significantly (P < 0.01). There is a relationship between expression of ICE in laryngeal carcinoma and the degree of differentiation. The better differentiation, the much expression of ICE (P < 0.05).
Conclusion:
There is an intimate relationship between innormal expression protein of ICE and dysplasia, and that of between laryngeal carcinoma and prognosis. The expression of ICE may be a monitoring marker for prognosis of laryngeal carcinoma.

Anatomy of the Larynx
The larynx consists of various components, including cartilage, muscles, and vocal cords. Its structure includes three large unpaired cartilages—the thyroid, cricoid, and epiglottis—and three smaller paired cartilages—the arytenoids, corniculates, and...
