MAGE-A1–6   expression in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma: impact on clinical patterns and oncologic outcomes

Conclusion In our patient group the expression of MAGE-A1–6 subtypes in tumor tissues of patients with HNSCC was correlated with advanced clinical stage of cancer and poor oncologic outcomes. We suggest that gene expression of MAGE-A1–6 subtypes may be considered to be a predictive factor to determine patient treatment or follow-up strategy.
