The presence of gene amplification was determined in 66 fresh head-and-neck SCC specimens using a battery of 9 different probes. Amplification of at least one gene was found in I 2 samples (18%), of which 7 were amplified at multiple loci (58%). We observed amplifications for EGFR (10% of samples) a
