Abstract excerpt
Chemoradiotherapy (CRT) of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is often accompanied by severe mucosal reactions. We have recently shown that the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs1982073 of the TGFbeta1 gene (TGFB1) is associated with the survival of HNSCC patients who have undergone CRT. In order to evaluate possible mechanisms mediating this, we investigated if the TGFB1 polymorphism was...
