Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: The development of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is a complex, multistep process. To date, numerous oncogenes and tumor-suppressor genes have been implicated in oral carcinogenesis. Of particular interest in this regard are genes involved in cell cycling and apoptosis, such BRAF, KRAS, and PIK3CA genes. STUDY DESIGN: Mutations of BRAF, KRAS, and PIK3CA were evaluated by direct genomic sequencing...
