Despite being already known that p27 can regulate cell proliferation, cell motility and apoptosis, the role of p27 expression in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) remains controversial. The purpose of this study was to comprehensively evaluate, with a meta-analysis, the clinicopathological and prognostic role of p27 expression in OSCC. A meta-analysis of eligible studies was performed to assess the effects of p27 expression on clinicopathological parameters and overall survival (OS) in patients with OSCC, using pooled relative risks with 95% confidence intervals. Heterogeneity and publication bias were also assessed. Fourteen studies involving a total of 1,010 patients met the inclusion criteria. Low p27 expression was significantly associated with advanced TNM stage (p<0.001), worse histology (p=0.025), and lymph node metastasis (p<0.001), but not with tumor size (p=0.181). The pooled RR of 0.743 (p=0.002) suggested that low p27 expression has a poor prognosis in patients with OSCC. A significant heterogeneity among studies was detected for lymph node status (χ2=34.60, I2=68.2%, p<0.001) and OS (χ2=14.86, I2=39.4%, p=0.095). We did not detect a significant publication bias in this meta-analysis. Our meta-analysis suggests that p27 expression status might be useful as a predictive biomarker in clinical practice, and might potently predict OS in OSCC patients.

(1) Background: The immune microenvironment plays an important role in carcinogenesis and has prognostic potential in many types of cancer. In this study we assess the prognostic character of tumor-infiltrating immune cells CD4+, CD8+ and CD56+ in resectable oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC); (2) Methods: We have evaluated the densities of CD4+, CD8+ and CD56+ in two distinct compartments, intratumor and invasion front, in 90 patients with OSCC; (3) Results: Significant differences were found between the tumor compartments for the CD4+ and CD8+ lymphocytes. An improved outcome (OS) was seen in patients with high densities of intratumor CD8+ lymphocytes (p = 0.0086), CD8+ lymphocytes at the front of invasion (p = 0.0011) and for intratumor CD56+ cells (p = 0.0016). Multivariate analysis confirmed the independent prognostic role of CD8+ at the front of invasion (OR = 3.75, CI95% 1.17–12.35, p = 0.026) and for intratumor CD56+ cells (OR = 3.669, CI95% 1.09–15.37, p = 0.035); (4) Conclusions: Tumor-infiltrating CD8+ lymphocytes at the front of invasion and CD56+ in the intratumor compartment display predictive traits in OSCC. A reach immune infiltration with these types of cells is associated with an improved patient outcome.
