1. Squamous cell carcinoma of the oral tongue : studies of biomarkers connected to human papillomavirus infection, epithelial to mesenchymal transition and locoregional metastatis
Sammanfattning : Background: Oral Tongue Squamous Cell Carcinoma (OTSCC) is the most frequent and aggressive carcinoma in the head and neck region. Its incidence has increased during the last decades, especially in young patients (≤40 years) mainly female. LÄS MER
2. Squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck, focusing on Epstein-Barr-virus, programmed cell death ligand 1 and serum lipoproteins
Sammanfattning : Background: Squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN)comprises a large group of tumours including the oral cavity and nasopharyngealarea, and typically affects older males in association with alcohol/tobacco usage.Within the oral cavity, the mobile tongue is the most common site for tumourdevelopment. LÄS MER
3. Predictive and prognostic biomarkers in oral tongue squamous cell carcinoma
Sammanfattning : Oral tongue squamous cell carcinoma (OTSCC) is an aggressive disease frequently associated with poor prognosis due to the high risk of regional failure and mortality rates have been practically unchanged in Sweden the last fifty years, despite advancements in both diagnostics and treatment. Today we lack means to assess the biological aggressiveness of each individual tumor which varies largely. LÄS MER
4. The use of formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue and global gene expression profiling for increased understanding of squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue
Sammanfattning : Head and neck cancer is the 6th most common malignancy worldwide, with tumours of the tongue being one of the most prevalent sites. Despite advances in surgery and radiotherapy, the five-year survival has not changed during the last decades and remains at approximately 50%. LÄS MER
5. Squamous cell carcinomas and preneoplastic lesions of the oral cavity : biological factors and prognosis
Sammanfattning : In Sweden, squamous cell carcinoma of the oral cavity comprises only 0.8% of the total cancer incidence. However, this disease often has a poor prognosis and the treatment frequently means some degree of disfiguration of the patient. LÄS MER
