NKG2D (Natural Killer Group 2, Member D) ligand expression and ameloblastoma recurrence: a retrospective immunohistological pilot study
This study identified recurrent cases and loss of MICA/B expression as independent predictors of early ameloblastoma recurrence following surgical resection. The findings suggest that decreased MICA/B expression might undermine NKG2D-mediated tumor immunosurveillance, thereby influencing early recurrence.
