Abstract 6261: Comparison of glycoprotein nonmetastatic melanoma protein b, epidermal growth factor receptor and vascular endothelial growth factor expression in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, and untreated and residual lymph node metastases
Abstract:Objective: To evaluate expression of the potential molecular imaging targets glycoprotein nonmetastatic melanoma protein B (GPNMB) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in comparison to classical epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) in previously untreated head and neck cancer primary tumors and corresponding lymph node metastases, and in lymph node metastases after initial (chemo)radiotherapy. Methods: Primary tumors and lymph node metastases of 38 patients who underwent primary resection of head a… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
