Survey of the main clinical characteristics of the cohort of 84 HNSCC patients in correlation with HLA allele frequencies.

HLA—human leukocyte antigen; HYPO—hypopharynx; LAR—larynx; NC/PNS—nasal cavity/paranasal sinuses; ORO—oropharynx; CUP—carcinoma of unknown primary, age at diagnosis in years; T—tumor; N—lymph node.
