## Abstract Each year approximately 40,000 people in the United States and 500,000 people worldwide are diagnosed with headβandβneck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC). Although there have been significant improvements in the treatment of this disease, leading to decreased morbidity, over the past few

Abstract
Background.
Cell lines are invaluable model systems for the investigation of cancer. Knowledge of the molecular alterations that exist within cell models is required to define the mechanisms governing cellular phenotypes.
Methods.
Five tongue squamous cell carcinomas cell lines and 1 submaxillary salivary gland epidermoid carcinoma cell line were analyzed for copy number and mRNA expression by tilingβpath DNA microarrays and Agilent Whole Human Genome Oligoarrays, respectively.
Results.
Integrative analysis of genetic and expression alterations revealed the molecular landscape of each cell line. Molecular results for individual cell lines and across all samples have been summarized and made available for easy reference.
Conclusion.
Our integrative genomic analyses have defined the DNA and RNA alterations for each individual line. These data will be useful to anyone modeling oral cancer behavior, providing a molecular context that will be useful for deciphering cell phenotypes. Β© 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Head Neck, 2010

## Abstract Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a circular doubleβstranded DNA virus implicated in at least 90% of cervical and anogenital cancers and has been observed in approximately 20% of squamous cell carcinomas of the head and neck (SCCHN). Transcription of the viral oncogenes __E6__ and __E7__ is
