TP53 and head and neck neoplasms.
Head and neck cancer is an important health problem around the world, accounting for approximately 500,000 new cases each year of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Carcinogenesis of head and neck results from a dysregulation of cellular proliferation, differentiation, and cell death. The major etiologic agents are tobacco and alcohol consumption and for some cases, human papilloma ...

متن کاملForgotten Features of Head Zones and Their Relation to Diagnostically Relevant Acupuncture Points
In the 1890s Sir Henry Head discovered certain areas of the skin that develop tenderness (allodynia) in the course of visceral disease. These areas were later termed "Head zones". In addition, he also emphasized the existence of specific points within these zones, that he called "maximum points", a finding that seems to be almost forgotten today. We hypothesized that two important groups of acu...
متن کاملMolecular markers of response and resistance to EGFR inhibitors in head and neck cancers.
Receptor tyrosine kinases (RTK) are key targets for novel cancer therapeutics since they activate multiple oncogenic signalling pathways. Also, they are inherently 'druggable' due to their small ATP-dependent kinase domains (inhibitable by small molecules) and cell surface location which renders them accessible to monoclonal antibody-based therapies. The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) ...
متن کاملMolecular metastases markers in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma: review of the literature.
It is now widely accepted that the presence of lymph node metastases is a negative prognostic factor in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. It follows that the ability to determine the presence of micro-metastases or the metastatic potential of a tumour at an early stage would condition the therapeutic strategy and evolution of this type of tumour. Prediction of the metastatic potential of h...
