Oral mucosa tissue gene expression profiling before, during, and after radiation therapy for tonsil squamous cell carcinoma.

BACKGROUND:Radiation-therapy (RT) induces mucositis, a clinically challenging condition with limited prophylactic interventions and no predictive tests. In this pilot study, we applied global gene-expression analysis on serial human oral mucosa tissue and blood cells from patients with tonsil squamo...
