Recently, attention has focused on the potential of oncogenes, tumour suppressor genes, and assessment of cell proliferation as biological response indicators in human cancer. In this study, immunocytochemical analysis was used to evaluate the usefulness of Ki67, epidermal growth factor receptor (EG
## 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
Gm, A2m, and Km allotypic markers were examined in 40 Caucasian patients with squamous cell carcinomas of the head and neck. Serum IgA levels, the A2m(l) allotypic marker, and antibodies against IgAl, A2m(l), and A2m(2) were measured quantitatively. The frequency of Km(1) was found to be significant
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
