Description

Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HNSCC) originates from squamous cells lining the mucosal surfaces of the head and neck region, affecting areas such as the oral cavity, oropharynx, nasopharynx, nasal cavity, paranasal sinuses, larynx, and hypopharynx [1]. Drug repurposing offers a cost-effective approach to identify new treatments by reutilizing existing drugs with established safety profiles [2]. Exploring protein domain interactions can uncover new insights into disease mechanisms and potential therapeutic targets [3].
