Gene expression profiling for metastatic risk in head and neck cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma

Jan 2022

Over 50% of newly diagnosed cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) lesions occur in the head and neck (cSCC‐HN), and metastasis to nodal basins in this region further complicates surgical and adjuvant treatment.
