Abstract excerpt
Telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) promoter mutations are prognostic in many cancers and have been observed in human papillomavirus (HPV)-negative head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCCs). However, the role of TERT promoter mutations in HPV-negative HNSCCs remains poorly understood in these cancers, which have increased risk for locoregional failure (LRF). PATIENTS AND METHODS: We retrospectively...
