Protein Expression in Tumor Tissue Samples From Patients With Cancer of the Oropharynx

Plain-language summary

This study examined gene and protein expression in the tumor tissue of patients with cancer of the oropharynx using laboratory analyses. It included patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the oropharynx who had suitable archived tissue samples. Run by Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center, it was a study without an assigned phase and has been completed.
