VEGFA and head and neck squamous cell carcinoma: The topologic study identified the ten hub genes, including VEGFA, AKT1, TNF, HIF1A, EGFR, JUN, STAT3, MMP9, EGF, and MAPK3. A significant difference was observed in VEGFA, AKT1, TNF, HIF1A, EGFR, MMP9, EGF, and MAPK3 expression levels between head and neck squamous cell carcinoma and the normal controls.
