Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND/AIM: Head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCCs) form a heterogeneous tumor entity located throughout the oral cavity, pharynx and larynx that is caused predominantly by chemically or virally induced carcinogenesis. Heterozygous germline mutations in cancer susceptibility genes might also lead to increased incidence of HNSCCs. As DNA stability is typically impaired in HNSCC cells and genes of the...
