Variation in human blood high-density lipoprotein response to oral vitamin E megadosage.

abstract：Objectives:Induction chemotherapy (IC) is occasionally used in head and neck cancer, leading to less extensive surgery and reduced need for irradiation. Factors predicting the response to IC have not been determined. In this study, we investigated the clinical and histopathologic factors that predict the response to IC...
