Global gene expression profiling of oral cavity cancers suggests molecular heterogeneity within anatomic subsites

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is a frequent neoplasm, which is usually aggressive and has unpredictable biological behavior and unfavorable prognosis. The comprehension of the molecular basis of this variability should lead to the development of targeted therapies as well as to improvements in specificity and sensitivity of diagnosis. RESULTS: Samples of primary OSCCs and their corresponding...
