Associated Genetic Biomarkers
Overview
NCI Definition: A squamous cell carcinoma that arises from the larynx. It is the most common histologic type of laryngeal carcinoma. It can arise from the glottis, supraglottic area, or it can be transglottic. Glottic squamous cell carcinoma is the most frequent laryngeal carcinoma in the United States. The symptoms, clinical behavior and the prognosis depend on the site of origin within the larynx. [1]
Laryngeal squamous cell carcinomas most frequently harbor alterations in TP53, CDKN2A, PIK3CA, KMT2D, and CCND1 [2].
TP53 Mutation, TP53 c.217-c.1178 Missense, TP53 Missense, PIK3CA Mutation, and TP53 Exon 5 Mutation are the most common alterations in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma [2].
