We found no association between CIP2A and cytoplasmic or nuclear c-Myc immunoexpression in tongue cancer (data not shown), when we compared CIP2 with cytoplasmic and nuclear c-Myc immunoreactivity previously described (Häyry et al, 2010), in contrast to our results in gastric cancer (Khanna et al, 2009). Here, CDKN3 is linked to tongue cancer.
