Initial cancer evaluation includes assessment of histologic appearance, tumor grading, assessment of lymph node status, and presence of metastasis. However, traditional diagnostic methods such as histopathology and radiology are not sensitive enough to detect small numbers of cancer cells and are li

## Abstract Although disease management of head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC) has improved significantly, therapy resistance leading to tumor recurrence still counteracts improvement of longβterm survival. Consequently, identification of molecular markers that signal increased risk of t
## Abstract Each year approximately 40,000 people in the United States and 500,000 people worldwide are diagnosed with headβandβneck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC). Although there have been significant improvements in the treatment of this disease, leading to decreased morbidity, over the past few
## Abstract ## Background. Metastases are the primary cause of cancer treatment failure and death, yet metastatic mechanisms remain incompletely understood. ## Methods. We studied the molecular basis of head and neck cancer metastasis by transcriptionally profiling 70 samples from 27 patientsβma
