Abstract

Hypoxia in head and neck tumors has proven to be predictive of outcomes. Current hypoxia signatures have failed for patient treatment selection. In a recent study, the authors identified a hypoxia methylation signature as a more robust biomarker in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma and shed light into the mechanism of hypoxia-mediated treatment resistance.
