Introduction: Squamous cell carcinomas (SqCCs) are the most common solid tumors in humans and are found across multiple organ systems. Although, integrated analysis of genetic alterations divulge similarities between SqCCs from various body sites, certain genes appear to be more frequently mutated in a given SqCC. These subtle differences may hold the key to determining the differentiation characteristics and predicting aggressiveness of tumors. Materials and Method: Fifty-four cases of SqCCs, in which the primary location of the tumor could be ascertained by clinical and radiological findings, were included in this study. Next generation sequencing data was analyzed for recurrent genetic abnormalities. Results: Genetic alterations were found in 219 genes in the 54 cases studied. TP53 mutations were found to be more frequent in pulmonary SqCCs (86.5%) as compared to non-pulmonary SqCCs (58.8%) (p |
