We investigated the prognostic significance of p53-gene mutation (exon 5-9) and bcl-2-protein expression in primary squamous-cell carcinoma of the head and neck (HNSCC) treated by curative radiotherapy (RT). Primary squamouscell carcinomas for analysis were obtained from 85 consecutive head-and-neck

The putative tumor suppressor gene p53 plays a key role in the regulation of cell proliferation. Functional loss of p53 protein through mutation or viral oncogene-complexing can result in p53 protein overexpression detectable by immunocytochemistry, which in turn has been associated with markers of
## Background: Reports that have both evaluated the site-specific epstein-barr virus (ebv) infection and compared it with the expression of the ebv-related proto-oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes in the various cancers of head and neck are scarce. ## Methods: Thirty-eight nasopharyngeal carcin
