Expression of glucose transporters in head‐and‐neck tumors
1 Mar 1994
Abstract excerpt
The expression of glucose transporter genes (GLUTI-4) was studied in 20 head-and-neck tumors of 18 patients. All tumors--16 of which were squamous-cell carcinomas (SCC)--expressed GLUT1 and/or GLUT3 mRNA, while detectable levels of GLUT2 or GLUT4 mRNA were not observed. The signals for GLUT1 and GLUT3 mRNAs varied markedly throughout the SCC tumor population but no clear relationship with the grade of...
