Abstract: Objective: To investigate the expression of p53 and ki67 proteins, and their relations to prognosis of patients in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Methods: A retrospective study including 132 patients with OSCC was performed, and the follow-up time was at least 5 years. The expression levels of p53 and ki67 were detected by immunohistochemistry and analyzed for the correlation with pathological features and prognosis of patients in OSCC. Results: The expression levels of p53 and ki67 correlated with cell differentiation, TNM stages and tumor site in OSCC (P<0.05). In addition, the expression of p53 was an independent prognostic parameter in patients with OSCC (P<0.05), but ki67 expression was not. Conclusion: The expression level of p53 is an effective biomarker and an independent prognostic parameter in oral squamous cell carcinoma
