Conelusions RCAS1 protein expression is an unfavorable prognostic marker in pharyngeal and laryngeal cancer. Its expression is associated with other well known negative prognostic factors. High RCAS1 expression in elear surgical margin of pharyngeal and laryngeal cancer is connected with higher risk of \!ocal cancer recurrence and dissemination of the tumor. We have indicated that comparison of RCAS1 in elear surgical margin and tumor cells might thus have both diagnostic and treatment consequences. RCAS1 expression could be used to predict the possibility of cancer recurrence. Molecular diagnosis of elear surgical margin might thus have a decisive significance for subsequent therapy and survival."]
