Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of DNA repair and apoptosis genes have been associated with outcome in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) patients receiving radiotherapy (RT). Our goal was to conduct a candidate gene study in HNSCC patients receiving RT or chemoRT. METHODS: 122 non-resectable HNSCC patients undergoing RT (N=38) or chemoRT (N=84) between 1992 and 2006 were...
