Head and Neck Tumors: Management of Primary Undifferentiated Pleomorphic Sarcoma
Introduction: Sarcomas account for 1% of all tumors originated in the head and neck regions in adults. They constitute a heterogeneous group of tumors of mesenchymal origin with multiple histological variants. The undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma (UPS) subtype is the most frequent variant with an incidence range of 2.7-38%. Materials and Methods: This retrospective...

متن کاملThe Epidemiology of Malignant Germ Cell Tumors: The EUROCARE Study
Germ cell tumors (GCTs) comprise a heterogeneous group of tumors in terms of histology, age at diagnosis, anatomical site and prognosis. Here we describe the epidemiology of GCT on the basis of data from European population-based cancer registries (CRs) analysed in the framework of the EUROCARE (European Cancer Registrybased study on survival and care of cancer patients) project, which has moni...

متن کاملContinued malignant cell proliferation in head and neck tumors during cytotoxic therapy.
The effect of cytotoxic therapy on the proliferation of squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck in vivo in patients was evaluated before and 15-35 days after the start of therapy. To accomplish this, iododeoxyuridine was administered at t = 0, and bromodeoxyuridine was administered 15-35 days later during treatment with a tumor biopsy obtained for study immediately after each pyrimidine in...
