Differences in expression of oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes in different sites of head and neck squamous cell.

Abstract

These results show that the expression of a number of proteins is not identical in the three major localizations of HNSCC and indicate the different tumor biology of cancers originating from different sites in the Head and Neck. It is therefore not justified to consider the different localizations as one entity. Moreover, these differences may have clinical and prognostic relevance.
