Up to 30% of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) patients develop local recurrence and distant metastasis. The molecular status of histologically cancer-free tumour margins could be a critical factor in predicting tumour behaviour. The aim of this study was to detect somatic genomic imbalances in OSCC with emphasis on the surgical margins. DNA was isolated from tumour tissues, margin tissues, and blood samples (used as control) obtained from 11 OSCC patients, and genome-wide array comparative genomic hybridization was performed.
