Dataset: Gene expression from head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (SCCHN) cancer cells before and after figitumumab

Patients with palliative SCCHN were treated with figitumumab, an IGF-1R inhibitor. This receptor plays an important role in cell growth, proliferation and differentiation and is often overexpressed in SCCHN. No significant clinical activity was observed in our study We used microarray to establish hypothesis for treatment resistance Tissue biopsies before and after figitumumab were stored in RNA later, total RNA was extracted and hybridized on Affymetrix microarrays
