## 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
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
Seventy-three squamous cell carcinomas arising in the head and neck region were cultured using the soft agar clonogenic system. Thirty-six (49%) demonstrated clonal growth. The cloning efficiency was variable, ranging from 0.001 % to 1.67% (median, 0.004%). Statistically significant correlations of
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
