Associated Genetic Biomarkers

Overview

NCI Definition: A squamous cell carcinoma that arises from any of the following anatomic sites: lip and oral cavity, nasal cavity, paranasal sinuses, pharynx, larynx, and salivary glands. [1]

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

Most Commonly Altered Genes in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma

TP53 Mutation, TP53 Missense, TP53 c.217-c.1178 Missense, PIK3CA Mutation, and CDKN2A Mutation are the most common alterations in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma [2].
