ProExC

Friday 10 August 2012

ProExC expression has been shown to perform similarly to p16 as an aid in the diagnosis of cervical dysplasia but has not been well characterized in head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (SCC).

ProExC does not perform well enough to be used as a prognostic marker in oropharyngeal SCC.
