## Abstract ## BACKGROUND Cyclin D1 (__CCND1__) and __p16__ alterations have been detected in oral squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs), suggesting that abnormalities of these genes may play an important role in the genesis or progression of oral SCCs and serve as independent prognostic indicators. The
## Inactivation of the Rb pathway in non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) occurs mostly through inactivation of the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p16 INK4A and/or up-regulation of cyclin D1. In order to assess the frequency and the prognostic value of these abnormalities in NSCLC, immunohisto
