Radiochemotherapy-induced elevations of plasma HMGB1 levels predict therapeutic responses in cancer patients

High mobility group B1 (HMGB1) is a protein that is released from dying cancer cells in the context of immunogenic cell death (ICD). A recent study performed on patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC) reports that a chemoradiotherapy-induced increase in circulating HMGB1 levels...
