Studies indicate CK17 maybe an excellent marker for the identification of squamous cell carcinomas in various tissues including the cervix, lung and oral cavity. CK17 may also be helpful in distinguishing myoepithelial cells from luminal epithelium of various glands such as mammary, sweat and salivary.
