The presence of gene amplification was determined in 66 fresh head-and-neck SCC specimens using a battery of 9 different probes. Amplification of at least one gene was found in I 2 samples (18%), of which 7 were amplified at multiple loci (58%). We observed amplifications for EGFR (10% of samples) a
## Background. Abnormalities in chromosome llq13 regions have been frequently found in head and neck squamous carcinoma. Recent studies indicate that the PRAD-1 (also CCNDI), which encodes cyclin D1, is a putative oncogene that is an important component of this region. Methods. DNA was extracted
