"Lingual squamous cell carcinoma is common and the survival rate is relatively low. The invasion of cancer cells from the primary tumor into the surrounding tissue is an early step in the process of metastasis and urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor (uPAR) is a vital mediator of cellular migration in some carcinomas," researchers in People's Republic of China report.
