RNA expression in squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue and normal tissue adjacent to squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Increasing incidence of squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue (SCCT) in young patients has been reported. In this study, we aimed to investigate the transcriptional profiles in tumour and matched tumour-free tissue from patients with SCCT. Particularly, transcriptional profiles of young patients (< 40 years) were compared with those of old patients (> 50 years), in order to know whether young patients are transcriptionally different to old patients. A total of 12 patients with SCCT treated at The University hospital of Umeå (NUS) were recruited. Three patients were younger than 40 years old at diagnosis (young patient), and the other 9 patients were older than 50 years old (old patient). Biopsies of tumour and tumour-free tissues were fresh-frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at -80°C until nuclear acid extraction.
