It is often related to the anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) fusion gene. Crizotinib, a first-generation ALK inhibitor, has been shown to have a notable response in patients with ALK-positive IMT. Here, we report the first case of a 46-year-old...
Aims
Molecular targeted therapy against EGFR kinase domain mutations has been successfully established for lung cancer. These mutations have now also been reported in head and neck tumours, particularly in inverted sinonasal papillomas (ISPs). The aim of this study was to clarify the spectrum of EGFR mutations in head and neck squamous cell carcinomas and papillomas.
