Clinical And Genetic Associations of Perineural Invasion and Pain in Patients with Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma

This study aims to characterize different pain patterns linked with PNI, its influence on daily functioning, and to gain insight into the molecular changes and pathways associated with PNI-related pain in HNSCC patients. We conducted a retrospective study across three medical centers (n=114), assessing pain phenotypes and their impact on daily functioning using two self-reported pain questionnaires simultaneously.
