Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma survivorship care

Australian Journal of General Practice, 2019
Head and neck cancer is the seventh most commonly diagnosed cancer in Australia. More than 90% of these cancers are squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs). With advances in cancer therapies, survivorship care is becoming increasingly topical. In particular, general practitioners (GPs) will play an increasingly central part in the management of this unique ...

Hypoxia in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma [PDF]

ISRN Otolaryngology, 2012
Hypoxia is a common feature in most of the solid tumors including head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Hypoxia reflects the imbalance between oxygen consumption by the rapidly proliferating cancer cells and the insufficient oxygen delivery due to poor vascularization and blood supply.

Circulating tumor cells in head and neck cancer: A review

World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, 2016
Carcinoma of the head and neck represents 3.5% of all cancers, and the vast majority of these tumors are squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). With a stable overall survival rate of 50% among all stages, there is continued interested in developing measures ...

Cetuximab in squamous cell head and neck carcinomas

Annals of Oncology, 2007
The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) antagonist, cetuximab, has recently been shown to enhance the effects of radiotherapy, and reports to date indicate that this effect occurs without any change in the pattern and severity of toxicity usually associated with head and neck radiation and/or chemotherapy (CT) administration.

Extracellular vesicles cargo from head and neck cancer cell lines disrupt dendritic cells function and match plasma microRNAs

Scientific Reports, 2021
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are mediators of the immune system response. Encapsulated in EVs, microRNAs can be transferred between cancer and immune cells.
