## Abstract ## Background Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC) is the second most common nonmelanoma skin cancer. Most of the approximately 250,000 cases occurring annually in the United States are small, nonaggressive, and cured by excision alone. However, a subset of these tumors which are d
Imatinib mesylate is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor of the ABL, platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGFR), and c-kit kinases. Inhibition of BCR-ABL and c-kit accounts for its clinical activity in leukemia and sarcoma, respectively. In this report, we describe other cellular targets for imatinib.
## Abstract Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is characterized by its capacity to invade adjacent tissues and to metastasize locoregionally. Evidence suggests that matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) may play a causal role in HNSCC progression. While evaluating the role of MMPs in the inva
