Objective To detect the metastasis-related genes in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Methods HNSCC metastasis-related genes were detected with genomic hybridization microarray in 80 samples from HNSCC patients
including 17 from tongue cancer patients
13 from oral cancer patients
14 from oropharynx cancer patients
and 36 from hypopharynx cancer patients. Results Genomic hybridization CGH showed that significant differences were observed in gene amplification at the sites of 1q
4q
7q
11q and Xq
and in gene deletion at the sites of 5p
8p
9p
11q
13q and 17p between the samples with and without HNSCC metastasis. Cox univariate analysis showed that the differentially expressed genes were mainly related with the functions of transcription regulation and signal transduction
etc. Conclusion HNSCC metastasis-related gene amplification and deletion can be found in samples from HNSCC patients.
