Topoisomerase I deregulation in laryngeal squamous cell carcinomas based on tissue microarray analysis.

CONCLUSIONS: Topo I overexpression is observed in a significant subset of LSCCs affecting the level of differentiation in them. Additional molecular studies focused on the mechanism of Topo I gene/protein deregulation (i.e. amplification, abnormal epigenetic promoter methylation, mRNA aberrant expression) are necessary discriminating the eligible patients for applying specific chemotherapeutic strategies based on anti-Topo I agents.
