They identified a total of 28 genes in 12 strains of chemoresistant cell lines each against cisplatin, 5-fluorouracil, paclitaxel and docetaxel chemotherapies. Unfortunately, there are lots of people out there who do not respond to chemotherapy or radiation. In Europe, head and neck cancers affect around 22 people per 100,000.
