Cetuximab in squamous cell head and neck carcinomas
The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) antagonist, cetuximab, has recently been shown to enhance the effects of radiotherapy, and reports to date indicate that this effect occurs without any change in the pattern and severity of toxicity usually associated with head and neck radiation and/or chemotherapy (CT) administration.

Pituitary tumor-transforming gene expression is a prognostic marker for tumor recurrence in squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck [PDF]
Background The proto-oncogene pituitary tumor-transforming gene (PTTG) has been shown to be abundantly overexpressed in a large variety of neoplasms likely promoting neo-vascularization and tumor invasiveness.

PKM2 Modulation in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma [PDF]
The enzyme pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2) plays a major role in the switch of tumor cells from oxidative phosphorylation to aerobic glycolysis, one of the hallmarks of cancer. Different allosteric inhibitors or activators and several posttranslational modifications regulate its activity. Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is a common disease with

Gefitinib and Radiotherapy in patients with locally advanced inoperable squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck [PDF]
Introduction: Gefitinib, an orally active epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitor, induces growth arrest in squamous cancer cell carcinoma of head and neck (SCCHN) cell lines mainly by blocking cells in G1 and preventing them ...

Immunotherapy for squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck [PDF]
Abstract Squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck is characterized by an immunosuppressive environment and evades immune responses through multiple resistance mechanisms. A breakthrough in cancer immunotherapy employing immune checkpoint inhibitors has evolved into a number of clinical trials with antibodies against programmed cell ...

The role of the chemokine receptor CXCR4 in oral squamous cell carcinoma metastasis [PDF]
PhDOral Squamous Cell Carcinoma (OSCC) is the sixth most common cancer worldwide. The greatest cause of mortality and surgical morbidity is due to the common spread of tumour cells from the primary lesion to the lymph nodes of the neck. This pathway is
