Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: This study aimed to investigate the effect of genetic polymorphisms in miRNA sequences, miRNA target genes and miRNA processing genes as additional biomarkers to HPV for prognosis in oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) patients. Secondarily, the prevalence of HPV-associated OPSCC in a European cohort was mapped. METHODS: OPSCC patients (n=122) were genotyped for ten genetic polymorphisms...
