Excerpt

Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is the sixth most common cancer worldwide and fifth most frequent cause of malignancy-related mortality [1, 2]. Despite advances in various treatment modalities, the overall prognosis of HNSCC patients has not improved significantly within the last several decades. About 50 % of patients survive their disease [3]. Advanced tumors have a recurrence rate of around 20–30 % at the primary tumor site and 10–15 % in the neck [3]. …
