Abstract:
:The current review presents the results of the most recent studies performed on different aspects of human head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, including radiosensitivity induction, efficiency improvement of monoclonal antibodies using low-intensity ultrasound, chemical compounds such as toll-like receptor (TLC) agonists, dasatinib, resveratrol and niclosamide, nuclear inhibition of cancer using STAT3 decoy oligonucleotide, efficiency of anti-EGFR monoclonal antibodies in detection of head and neck cancers and other related issues.
