Gingerol acts as a potent radiosensitizer in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.

ABSTRACT: Treatment options for advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) are limited and often cause severe toxicity and debilitating long-term impacts. Developing effective and safer treatments is warranted. Several plant extracts have shown their effectiveness, but a comprehensive comparison between plant extracts in HNSCC has not been reported. Our aim was to investigate the effect of different plant extracts on the proliferation and viability of HNSCC cell lines. In addition, we investigated the efficacy of combining cytotoxic plant extracts with radiation. Since RT is a cornerstone in the treatment and management of HNSCC, it is desirable to enhance its efficacy through combination with cytotoxic agents that have minimal side effects. HNSCC cell lines were treated with various pla
