Abstract

The incidence of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is on the rise and is expected to increase by 50% by 2030. Around half of the patient population affected are diagnosed when the tumor is at a locally advanced stage. These patients are usually treated with intense radiotherapy, leading to severe side-effects. Precision medicine would revolutionize the treatment of head and neck cancer by accurately identifying patients that are at low risk of recurrence, reduce treatment related side-effects and aid in overall improvement in quality of life of patients after treatment.
