Chemo-radiotherapy (CRT) with cisplatin-based regimens is curative in a subset of patients with locally advanced (stage III and IV) squamous carcinomas of the head and neck (LAHNSCC), but causes considerable toxicity. To seek predictive biomarkers, we analysed single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the p53 and MDM2 genes in LAHNSCC patients treated with cisplatin-based CRT. We analysed germ-line p53 72 Arg/Pro...
