PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide means for detecting oral squamous-cell carcinoma including malignancy thereof through an alteration in the genomic structure in the oral squamous-cell carcinoma as an index. SOLUTION: It is found that the detection of the oral squamous-cell carcinoma including the malignancy thereof can be carried out, through the alteration in the genomic structure in the oral squamous-cell carcinoma as the index. Furthermore, it is found that the growth of the oral squamous-cell carcinoma can be suppressed by recovering the inactivation of a gene in the oral squamous cell cancer. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT
