Abstract
The influence of c-myc in the carcinogenic process has been previously described although in the specific case of oral tumors it has been poorly tested. Myc proteins are a family of proto-oncogenes involved in the cell proliferation regulation, differentiation and apoptosis. The goal of this paper is to describe the functions of c-myc and its role as oncogene, assessing its expression by immunohistochemistry and genetic amplification studies, and studying its relationship with tumoral clinical and pathological variables, and describing genetic and molecular interactions in OSCC.
