Genetic and Molecular Differences in Head and Neck Cancer Based on Smoking History
The results of this cohort study suggest that there may be patterned genetic and molecular differences in patients with HNSCC based on smoking history, especially genes located on chromosome 11q13. These genomic differences due to smoking make smoking a modifiable risk factor for HNSCC outcomes.
