In order to define more clearly the role of chromosome 9 loss in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), 29 invasive carcinomas and 17 preinvasive lesions were analyzed for loss of heterozygosity (LOH) on chromosome 9. We found LOH in 21 of 29 (72%) HNSCC tumors using highly polymorphic mi...
