Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The prognoses of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) are poor, especially when both tumors occur at the same time. We examined the clonal relatedness of HNSCCs with synchronous ESCCs to confirm whether the second tumors were metastasis or separate second primary malignancies (SPMs) using loss of heterozygosity (LOH) analysis. METHODS: Twenty-one...
