Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To identify tissue biomarkers that might be used to assess an individual's cancer risk and response to chemoprevention, we studied in dysplastic lesions of the larynx and the p.o. cavity, a series of biomarkers extensively used in previous chemoprevention trials, including chromosome polysomy (CP), proliferative status, p53 expression and gene mutations, and loss of heterozygosity at 9p, 3p, and 17p....
