Nuclear survivin expression is associated with HPV-independent carcinogenesis and is an indicator of poor prognosis in oropharyngeal cancer
22 Jan 2008
Abstract excerpt
The relationship between expression of the inhibitor of apoptosis protein survivin and the presence of high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) in oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) remains unclear. This also accounts for its role as a predictor of survival. Therefore, we conducted a multicentre retrospective study on 106 consecutive oropharyngeal cancer patients. Human papillomavirus sequences were...
