Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: To determine genomic alterations in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) using formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tumors obtained through routine clinical practice, selected cancer-related genes were evaluated and compared with alterations seen in frozen tumors obtained through research studies. PATIENTS AND METHODS: DNA samples obtained from 252 FFPE HNSCC were analyzed using...
