The association between cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 2A (CDKN2A) hypermethylation and head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) risk has been investigated by a number of studies. However, these studies have not demonstrated consistent results. Moreover, the role of CDKN2A methylation in HNSCC carcinogenesis and its clinical significance remain unclear.
