Table 3. Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) expression in head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (SCC) in relation to mitotic index.
Mitotic index | Head and neck SCC | ||
---|---|---|---|
EGFR-n (%) | EGFR+ n (%) | Total n (%) | |
< 10 | 12 (22.6) | 9 (17.0) | 21 (39.6) |
≥ 10 < 20 | 6 (11.3) | 8 (15.1) | 14 (26.4) |
≥ 20 | 2 (3.8) | 16 (30.2) | 18 (34.0) |
Total | 20 | 33 | 53 * |
EGFR - = EGFR not detected; EGFR + = EGFR detected;
among the 54 patients, one patient had no evaluation of EGFR in SCC to compare with the mitotic index.
