From: Epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor-ligand based molecular staging predicts prognosis in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma partly due to deregulated EGF- induced amphiregulin expression

Increased tumorous AREG expressing was associated with poor prognosis and with increased HBGEF expression. a Whereas only 7.5 % (3/40) of cis-/carbo-platin treated patients with lower than median tumorous AREG mRNA levels died within 20 months, 26.7 % (8/30) patients with higher levels died (Kaplan-Meier curve, Log rank test, p = 0.007). b Tumorous AREG mRNA expression was correlated to HBGEF mRNA expression, only (p < 0.001; r = 0.54, Spearman correlation analysis)
