Investigating the Feasibility of Targeted Next-Generation Sequencing to Guide the Treatment of Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma
[Paper-level Aggregated] PMCID: PMC6333965
Evidence Type(s): Oncogenic, Prognostic
Justification: Oncogenic: The text mentions that mutations in PIK3CA (E545K) and CDKN2A (R58X) are potentially targetable, indicating their role in cancer development. Additionally, TP53 mutations (R209Q/W, R243W/Q) are associated with cell cycle deregulation, further supporting their oncogenic potential. Prognostic: The text states that mutations in TP53, CDKN2A, and CCND1 are significantly associated with poorer overall survival, indicating their prognostic value in the context of cancer outcomes.
