Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Mortality of patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is primarily driven by tumor cell radioresistance leading to locoregional recurrence (LRR). In this study, we use a classification of TP53 mutation (disruptive vs. nondisruptive) and examine impact on clinical outcomes and radiation sensitivity. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: Seventy-four patients with HNSCC treated with surgery and...
