Therefore, we tested dual targeting of PARP and the intra-S/G2 checkpoint through Wee1 inhibition for its radiosensitizing capacity in radioresistant HPV-negative HNSCC cells.MATERIALS AND METHODS: Three radioresistant HPV-negative cell lines (HSC4, SAS, UT-SCC-60a) were treated with olaparib, adavosertib and ionizing irradiation.
