FANCE and neoplasm: As shown in Table 1, the increased expression of FANCE was significantly correlated with tumor origin (oropharynx vs. oral cavity; n=577, *P=5.867×10-6), pathologic T classification (T I&II vs. III&IV; n=522, *P=3.44×10-4), HPV infection status (positive vs. negative; n=115, *P=1.78×10-4), perineural invasion (negative vs. positive; n=410, *P=0.014) and smoking (positive vs. negative; n=577, *P=0.004).
