Abstract 6284: GC4419 protects again radiation induced oral mucositis, enhances the response of squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck tumors to ionizing radiation, and enhances radioimmune therapy
Abstract:Locoregional recurrence (LRR) is the major cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (HNSCC). For those patients that experience surgically unresectable LRR, median overall survival (OS) is less than one year. Approaches utilizing stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SAbR) and immune oncology agents such as Nivolumab (α-PD-1 agonist) in the salvage setting have become alternatives to conventional chemoradiation therapy. Despite improvements in OS, rates of ac… Show more
