Objective
The aim of this study was to investigate how HNSCC tissue biopsies maintained in a pseudo in vivo environment within a bespoke microfluidic device, respond to radiation treatment.

Materials and Methods
35 patients with HNSCC were recru... Read More about Assessing the effects of radiotherapy on head and neck squamous cell carcinoma using microfluidic techniques.

Head and neck cancer is the sixth most common cancer worldwide. Despite advances in therapy, the five year survival rate remains poor. The presence of regulatory T cells (Tregs) may be a mechanism by which head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC...
