Popis: Abstract Tyrosine kinase inhibitor is an effective chemo-therapeutic drug against tumors with deregulated EGFR pathway. Recently, a genetic variant rs10251977 (G>A) in exon 20 of EGFR reported to act as a prognostic marker for HNSCC. Genotyping of this polymorphism in oral cancer patients showed a similar frequency in cases and controls. EGFR-AS1 expressed significantly high level in tumors and EGFR-A isoform expression showed significant positive correlation (r = 0.6464, p
