Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Human papillomavirus (HPV)-positive and HPV-negative oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinomas (OSCCs) are two distinct entities. We defined the molecular profiles of druggable receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) in both groups. MATERIALS AND METHODS: E5 expression and RTK alterations were studied in 17 HPV-positive and 59 HPV-negative formalin-fixed OSCCs. RTK activation was explored in further 12 frozen...
