Abstract excerpt
Although cetuximab plus radiotherapy is a standard treatment for patients with inoperable head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), its efficacy varies greatly among individuals. To identify predictive markers of efficacy, we examined the effects of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in hypoxia-related and DNA repair genes on the clinical outcome and occurrence of skin toxicity. We analyzed 61...
