    【摘要】 黏液表皮样癌(MEC)是口腔颌面部常见的上皮性恶性肿瘤。由于黏液表皮样癌具有高发病率和病死率，以及高转移率和复发率，因此患者的生活质量一直是治疗和康复过程中的一个严重问题。上皮细胞黏附分子(EpCAM) 高表达于快速生长的上皮肿瘤中，与上皮性恶性肿瘤密切相关，参与上皮性恶性肿瘤细胞黏附、信号传导、迁移和增殖，并与肿瘤的预后密切相关。当细胞与细胞间发生黏附作用时，EpCAM聚集于细胞膜表面，可改变细胞内的微环境，影响MEC的预后及转移。EpCAM参与肿瘤的发生、发展，可为MEC的早期诊断及预后评估提供新的参考依据。

    【Abstract】 Mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC) is a common epithelial malignant tumor in oral and maxillofacial region. Due to the high morbidity， mortality and metastasis rates， the quality of life of MEC patients has always been a serious problem in the process of treatment and rehabilitation. Epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM) is highly expressed in the fast-growing epithelial tumors， which is closely correlated with the epithelial malignant tumors. It is involved in the epithelial malignant tumor cell adhesion ......
