HPV and p53 status as precision determinants of head and neck cancer response to DNA-PKcs inhibition in combination with irradiation
2023-11-04
Abstract excerpt
Major risk factors of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) are tobacco use and human papillomavirus (HPV). HPV E6 oncoprotein leads to the degradation of the p53 protein, whereas HPV-negative cancers are frequently associated with TP53 mutations. Peposertib is a potent and selective, orally administered small-molecule inhibitor of the catalytic subunit of the DNA-dependent kinase (DNA-PKcs), a key regulat...
