Cigarette Smoke Exposure Attenuates T2R‐Mediated Apoptosis in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Head &Neck, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Tobacco use is associated with worse outcomes in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Bitter taste receptor (T2R) activation induces apoptosis via calcium‐dependent signaling, and higher T2R expression correlates with increased survival in HNSCC.

Head &Neck, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background We compared treatment delays, costs, and management impact between oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) patients undergoing in‐office versus general anesthesia panendoscopy‐guided biopsies in two large tertiary centers in a public healthcare system. Methods All OPSCC patients included were treated between 2010 and 2024 with
