Concurrent radiotherapy plus epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitors in patients with human papillomavirus-related head and neck cancer
2014
Purpose
Concurrent radio-chemotherapy (RT-CT) is the standard treatment for locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (LA-HNSCC), but RT plus epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitors is an effective option when CT is not appropriate. Human papillomavirus (HPV) is associated with an improved prognosis in LA-HNSCC; however, it has not been fully studied as a prognostic factor after RT + EGFR inhibitors.
