Abstract
Immunostaining is one of the latest and accurate modality for evaluating the diagnosis and prognosis of tumors. It has also become a very important tool of differentiating between the tumors of different origin. Aims of the present study were to assess the frequency, pattern, sensitivity and specificity of CytokeratinAE1/AE3 as an immunohistochemical marker for the Squamous Cell Carcinomas(SCC) of head and neck.
