MAPK pathway mutations can provide “precision” treatment targets for head and neck cancer

MAPK pathway mutations can provide “precision” treatment targets for head and neck cancer

About one-fifth of often deadly head and neck cancers harbor genetic mutations in a pathway that is key to normal cell growth, and scientists report those mutations, which enable abnormal cancer cell
