Abstract 585: Elevated levels of CD24 in head and neck squamous carcinoma cells: A potential marker for unfavorable cisplatin response

Conclusion: Our work thus far, indicates that higher expression of CD24 in head and neck tumors result in a cisplatin resistant population that may well be the cause of unfavorable response to cisplatin treatment. Overall, CD24 has the potential to be a valuable predictor of response to cisplatin in HNSCC patients as well as a therapeutic target.Citation Format: Vishnu Modur.
