Loss of ARID1A, a component of the SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complex, at the invasion front is related to poor outcomes in oral squamous cell carcinoma

Purpose This study aimed to investigate the relationship between loss of AT-rich interactive domain-containing protein 1A (ARID1A) expression and the prognosis of patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC).
