Genetic abnormalities in SCCHNs are frequent and may be useful for screening, follow-up and prognosis. A biopsy or resection generally is utilized to identify these alterations but analysis of scraped or exfoliated tumor cells has been proposed as simpler and more versatile. It is unknown how well g

Background. The progression of tumor growth requires the recruitment of new blood vessels. It has been suggested that the degree of neovascularization would correlate with clinical prognosis. The purpose of the present study was to ascertain whether tumor vascularization correlated with clinical out
## Abstract ## Background and Objective In the last years, photodynamic therapy, performed with hematoporphyrin derivatives, gained in importance for the treatment of superficially situated malignomas. The use of hematoporphyrin as photosensitizer is limited especially by the low depth of penetrat
Forty-one patients with Stage 111 and IV squamous cell carcinomas (SCC) of the head and neck were treated preoperatively with mitomycin C and 5-fluorouracil and concomitant radiotherapy. Operation specimen were examined histologically, the percentage of vital tumor cells and devitalized tumor cells
It has been reported that an intrinsic susceptibility to cancer is related to the way an individual responds to DNA-damaging agents. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether, in addition to bleomycin-induced chromosomal instability, radiation-induced initial DNA damage and subsequent repair is
