The cell-cell adhesion molecule E-cadherin has been shown to suppress invasive growth of epithelial cells in vitro, and loss of its expression is thought to be important in invasion and metastatic potential of epithelial tumors in vivo. We retrospectively studied the level of E-cadherin expression i

## Abstract ## BACKGROUND: Recent genetic studies have implicated p53 mutation as a significant risk factor for therapeutic failure in squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN). However, in a recent metaβanalysis in the literature of p53 from major anatomical subsites (larynx, oral cavi
## Abstract The KrΓΌppelβlike transcription factor (__KLF6__) gene is a tumor suppressor gene (TSG) reported to be dysregulated and inactivated through loss of heterozygosity (LOH) and/or somatic mutation in a number of major human cancers. The aim of the present study was to examine __KLF6__ gene s
A20 is an anti-apoptotic gene that can be induced in human epithelial cell lines in response to expression of the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) gene product latent membrane protein 1 (LMP1). EBV is a ubiquitous, persistent human herpesvirus that is consistently associated with undifferentiated nasopharyn
## Abstract Inactivation of the __p16^INK4A^__ (__CDKN2A)__ gene in the Rb pathway is among the most common somatic alterations observed in tobaccoβrelated solid tumors, including head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). In addition, a low folate diet is an important risk factor for HNSCC. De
