Rapid response of locally advanced oral squamous cell carcinoma to apatinib: A case report

There are no effective therapeutic options for locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Additionally, there is no standard therapy for patients subjected to multiple lines of treatment. Angiogenesis plays a key role in tumor growth and metastasis. Therefore, inhibition of tumo...
