Cetuximab Augments Cytotoxicity with Poly (ADP-Ribose) Polymerase Inhibition in Head and Neck Cancer
30 Aug 2011
Abstract excerpt
Overexpression of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is a hallmark of head and neck cancers and confers increased resistance and inferior survival rates. Despite targeted agents against EGFR, such as cetuximab (C225), almost half of treated patients fail this therapy, necessitating novel therapeutic strategies. Poly (ADP-Ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors (PARPi) have gained recent attention due to...
