Protein Expression Profiles in Oropharyngeal Squamous Cell Carcinoma
OBJECTIVES:
- To investigate if some of the differences in gene expression are also reflected at the
protein level.
- To determine whether differences in gene expression that are also reflected at the
protein level can be used to develop markers for early detection and disease
surveillance.
- To identify targets for therapy.
OUTLINE: Archived tumor tissue samples are analyzed for expression of standard
immunohistological markers (e.g., p16, p53, and Ki-67) as well as expression of genes
identified in a previous gene expression study. Protein expression data are tested for
clinical and demographic correlates and compared with gene expression data.
