Genetic Signatures of HPV-related and Unrelated Oropharyngeal Carcinoma and Their Prognostic Implications
18 Feb 2009
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Patients with human papillomavirus (HPV)-containing oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinomas (OSCC) have a better prognosis than patients with HPV-negative OSCC. This may be attributed to different genetic pathways promoting cancer. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: We used comparative genomic hybridization to identify critical genetic changes in 60 selected OSCC, 28 of which were associated with HPV-16 as determined...
