    Title:

    Response of Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma Cells Carrying PIK3CA Mutations to Select Targeted Therapies

    Excerpt:
    ...we tested a panel of HPV-negative HNSCC cell lines with 17-AAG...In these cell lines, there was no clear difference to treatment with 17-AAG although there appeared to be a trend towards increased resistance of those cells with PI3K mutations compared to those cells that did not contain a PI3K mutation.
