Portrait of DNA methylated genes predictive of poor prognosis in head and neck cancer and the implication for targeted therapy
Abstract In addition to chronic infection with human papilloma virus (HPV) and exposure to environmental carcinogens, genetic and epigenetic factors act as major risk factors for head and neck cancer (HNC) development and progression. Here, we conducted a systematic review in order to assess whether...
