ABSTRACT
Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is a heterogeneous group of cancers and patients have limited therapy options if primary treatment fails. Therefore, additional information about the biology of the tumor is essential. Here we performed a feasibility study of concurrently applying two precision diagnostic tools in a consecutive series of HNSCC patients. We analyzed tumor samples of 31 patients using a genomic (oncomine) and a proteomic, immunohistochemical approach (oncopanel) and compared the result, also in the focus on their overlapping therapeutical targets. We found no strong correlation between the two approaches and observed a higher proportion of marker expression for the immunohistochemical panel. However, both panels show in our HNSCC cohort distinct patterns with druggable targets. The data suggest that both approaches complement one another and can be applied side-by-side to identify the best targets for the development of individual treatment options for HNSCC patients.
