Abstract
The aim of our research is to define those phenotypical so as genetic characteristics of the squamous epithelium within the head and neck region, and particularly of the larynx, which manifest themselves as mutant proteins, numerical chromosome aberrations or gene mutations. Analysis of a large cohort of retrospectively and prospectively ascertained patients and their follow-up is expected to reveal reliable biomarkers important also for identification of high risk precancerous lesions that may progress to invasive cancer.
