However, their roles in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) remain unclear, particularly in Indian population due to lack of availability of data from India. Therefore, we sought to explore the roles of Notch-1 and Notch-3 in OSCC and to investigate their influence on the disease outcome of patients.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Materials and Method:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Protein expression of Notch-1 and Notch-3 were localized immunohistochemically in 120 pre-therapeutic OSCC patients and assessed for their roles in disease outcomes.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Protein expressions of Notch-1 and Notch-3 were detected in 54% and 61% of patients, respectively.
