TWIST is a transcription factor that plays a key role in the development of primary tumor to metastatic stage of cancer. It is an inhibitor of E-cadherin in epithelial-to-mesenchymal transformation process (epithelial-mesenchymal transition). Few studies are available on the use of TWIST as a goal in molecular-targeted therapy. The aim of this study was to evaluate of TWIST expression in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) and its correlation with clinicopathologic factors.
