    Abstract : 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%. READ MORE

  5. 3. Predictive and prognostic biomarkers in oral tongue squamous cell carcinoma

    Author : Michael Ryott; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : 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. READ MORE

    Abstract : 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.

    Abstract : Head and neck cancer is a heterogeneous group of tumours, of which certain subgroups such as cancer of the mobile tongue frequently are associated with a relatively poor prognosis due to the high risk of regional failure and mortality rates that haven’t improved in a significant way over the last 3 decades, despite advancements in both diagnostics and treatment.Today we lack means to assess the biological aggressiveness of each individual tumour, which varies largely.
