Expression and role of the embryonic protein SOX2 in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma

TL;DR: Functionally, SOX2 induced the expression of the antiapoptotic protein BCL-2 and enhanced resistance to apoptosis-inducing agents including cisplatin, indicatingSOX2 as a mediator of therapy resistance in human HNSCC.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rationale for Treatment of Metastatic Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Lung Using Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor Inhibitors

TL;DR: It is suggested that the FGFR1 amplification is a clonal event in tumor progression and carry potential therapeutic implications in that small-molecule inhibitors may be applicable to the treatment of a subset of patients with metastatic L-SCC.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sex determining region Y-box 2 (SOX2) amplification is an independent indicator of disease recurrence in sinonasal cancer.

TL;DR: SNUCs are molecularly closely related to SCCs and INVCs and that these entities represent a subgroup of sinonasal carcinomas relying on SOX2 acquisition during oncogenesis, suggesting that these patients might benefit from a more aggressive therapy regime.
