2. 1. The role of WNT5A in oral squamous cell carcinoma

   Author : Zdenka Prgomet; Malmö högskola; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

   Abstract : Cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide and furtherresearch into the cancer biology is required to improve treatment andsurvival. Cancer can start in all sites of the body and is characterizedby uncontrolled cell growth and capability of invading surroundingtissue and spreading to other sites of the body. READ MORE

4. 2. Oral cancer with special reference to virus detection and quantitative gene expression

   Author : Miranda Shojaeian Jalouli; Lars Sand; Jan Hirsch; Torbjörn Ramqvist; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : HPV; EBV; HSV-1; Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma; Leukoplakia; apopto-sis; cell cycle regulation; intermediate filament proteins.; Medicinsk genetik; Medical Genetics;

   Abstract : Background. Head and neck cancers (HNC) are among the most common malignancies worldwide, and about 90–92% of oral neoplasias are oral squamous cell carcinomas (OSCC). Alcohol and tobacco consumption have been recognized as the main risk factors for OSCC development. READ MORE

5. 3. Studies on the influence of human papillomaviruses (HPV) and other biomarkers on the prevalence of oropharyngeal cancer and clinical outcome

   Author : Anders Näsman; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Background: Oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), where tonsillar (TSCC) and base of tongue squamous cell carcinoma (BOTSCC) dominate, is increasing and is now the most common head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) in Sweden. Smoking and alcohol are risk factors for HNSCC, but in 2007, human papillomavirus (HPV) infection was also recognized as a risk factor for OSCC. READ MORE

6. 4. Human Papilloma Virus, Epstein-Barr Virus, and Herpes Simplex Virus Type-1 in Oral Squamous Cell Carcinomas from Three Populations

   Author : Jamshid Jalouli; Jan-Michaél Hirsch; Tina Dalianis; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; HPV; EBV; HSV; Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma; Leukoplakia; Oral Lichen Planus; Oral Submucuos Fibrosis; Toombak; Betel quid; Snuff; Oncology; Onkologi; Oncology; Onkologi;

   Abstract : Most oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is believed to develop via a multistep process of cumulative gene damage in epithelial cells. Increasing incidence of OSCC and evidence that traditional risk factors may not be responsible directed us to investigate the prevalence of virus in pre- and malignant samples. READ MORE

7. 5. Potentially Malignant Disorders and Oral cancer -A study on Immunosurveillance

   Author : Jenny Öhman; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Oral lichen planus; Leukoplakia; Oral cancer; Immunosurveillance; Solid organ transplantation; T cells; Langerhans cells;

   Abstract : ABSTRACT The cancer immunosurveillance hypothesis postulates that the immune system can recognize cancer cell precursors and destroy those cells before a clinical manifestation occurs. During the last decades several groups have presented evidence of the influence and role of immune activation in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) patients; however, much less is known about the role of immune activation in potentially malignant oral disorders (PMOD).
