## Abstract Although disease management of head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC) has improved significantly, therapy resistance leading to tumor recurrence still counteracts improvement of longβterm survival. Consequently, identification of molecular markers that signal increased risk of t
Induction (proto) chemotherapy consisting of 3 courses of cisplatin and 120-hour 5-fluorouracil infusion was administered to 88 patients who had locally advanced, previously untreated head and neck cancer. The majority (81%) of these patients were classified as stage IV, and 17% had second primary c
