Purpose: We investigated the mechanism and clinical significance of the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT)-induced chemoresistance in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Experimental Design: The correlation between the expression of different EMT regulators and chemoresistance genes,...
