## Abstract Noninvasive imaging of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) in head‐and‐neck squamous cell carcinoma could be of value to select patients for EGFR‐targeted therapy. We assessed dose optimization of ^111^Indium‐DTPA‐cetuximab (^111^In‐cetuximab) for EGFR imaging in a head‐and‐neck

## Abstract ## Background Cumulative evidence implicates the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) as an important therapeutic target in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). The basis for the lack of correlation between EGFR expression in the HNSCC tumor and clinical responses to EGFR
## Abstract ## Background Recurrent head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) remains a difficult cancer to treat. Here, we describe a patient with HNSCC who had complete response to methotrexate (MTX) after progressing on multiple cytotoxic agents, cetuximab, and AMG‐479 (monoclonal antibody
## Abstract The degree of gene amplification for epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and its expression levels were examined in 4 cases of tumor lesions and their cell lines of human squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the oral cavity. The amplification was detected in 1 case (ZA), but not signifi
We studied epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene amplification and expression in 11 early passage human head and neck carcinoma cell lines. Three cell lines demonstrated EGFR gene amplification and 10 lines showed an increase in EGFR mRNA when compared with normal keratinocytes, placenta, and
