Associated Genetic Biomarkers

Overview

NCI Definition: A carcinoma that arises from the head and neck region. Representative examples include oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma, laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma, and salivary gland carcinoma. [1]

Head and neck carcinomas most frequently harbor alterations in TP53, CDKN2A, PIK3CA, NOTCH1, and KMT2D [2].

Most Commonly Altered Genes in Head and Neck Carcinoma

TP53 Mutation, TP53 Missense, TP53 c.217-c.1178 Missense, PIK3CA Mutation, and NOTCH1 Mutation are the most common alterations in head and neck carcinoma [2].
