Rapid recurrence and poor prognosis with altered levels of β-catenin in 3 cases of head and neck Squamous cell carcinoma patients.
We report 3 cases which had considerably higher levels of β-catenin and had rapid recurrence within 3 months, 6 months and 15 months respectively followed by very poor prognosis and death.
We speculate presence of resistant cells and higher levels of β-catenin as one of the important prognostic markers for recurrence and therapeutic resistance.
