Gene Signature Predicts Oral Cancer Recurrence
New research published in BioMed Central’s open-access journal BMC Cancer shows that a four-gene signature may accurately predict which patients are at higher risk of Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma recurrence. Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma is responsible for nearly a quarter of all head and neck cancers. It is one of the leading causes of cancer death. This was primarily due to the failure of current histological procedures to predict the disease’s recurrence.
