The Role of microRNA-29b in the Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma
To find out if there is prognostic value which to the performance of microRNA-29b of oral cancer in Taiwan and provide some reference for future treatment. We anticipate to enroll 100 persons with oral cancer and collect the tissue which was stained for pathological sections over a 3 year period.
