## Background: Squamous cell carcinoma (scc) of the head and neck region is rare in young patients and even less frequent in children 15 years or younger children. the patients reported in the literature are isolated cases and their management is always difficult because there is no large experienc

## Loss of heterozygosity (LOH ) at chromosome band 10q23 occurs frequently in a wide variety of human tumors. A recently identified candidate tumor suppressor gene, PTEN located on 10q23, is mutated in multiple advanced cancers. To explore whether PTEN is associated with human squamous cell carci
Background. Urokinase-type plasminogen activator is important for matrix degradation and motility of cancer cells. For effective invasion, urokinase has to be associated with its cell surface receptor. 1 Methods. We analyzed 33 head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (hnSCC) and 14 mucosal tissue sam
Molecular studies have revealed that microsatellite instability and loss of heterozygosity occurred in head-and-neck cancer, suggesting the involvement both of suppressor and of mutator pathways in head-and-neck carcinogenesis. There is evidence for relations between tumor phenotype and clinical par
