Accelerated Fractionation Radiotherapy in Treating Patients with Locally Advanced Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Results: In total, 40 patients were enrolled; median follow-up was 41 months. The majority of patients were clinical stage III (n=37, 92.5%), ≥ 50 year (n=34, 85%), and male gender (n=29, 72.5%). Approximately half of the patients had laryngeal cancer. The overall grade 3 acute toxicity was 62.5%; mainly mucositis (n=23, 57.5%) and dysphagia (n=18, 45%). Overall, 34 patients (85%) showed comple...
متن کاملEpithelial-Mesenchymal Transition and Inflammation in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) represents a large majority of cancers arising from the head and neck, especially the oral cavity. Despite advances in therapy, the five-year survival rate remains low due to the number of patients presenting advanced stages of the disease. The role of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in tumorigenesis in HNSCC remains unexplored. The current ...

متن کاملDensity of mast-cells and Microvessels Density in head and neck cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Background and Aim: Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC) is the second most common skin cancer. Mast cells may play a role in tumor progression and metastasis by increasing angiogenesis. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of mast cells by increasing angiogenesis in invasion of head and neck cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma. Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional stud...
متن کاملHead and neck squamous cell carcinoma of unknown primary: neck dissection and radiotherapy or definitive radiotherapy.
BACKGROUND Management of head and neck carcinoma from unknown primary (HNCUP) remains controversial, with neck dissection and radiotherapy (RT) or definitive RT both commonly used. The purpose of this study was to characterize HNCUP and retrospectively compare outcomes for patients treated with neck dissection + RT versus definitive RT. METHODS From 1994 to 2009, 41 patients with HNCUP underw...
