Abstract excerpt
The 5-year-survival rate of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) has been only moderately improved over the last few decades. HNSCC develops in precursor fields of genetically altered mucosal cells, typically characterized by p53 pathway disruption, that mostly do not give any clinical symptoms. Patients present therefore often with invasive carcinomas in an advanced stage. After tumor resection, part of...
