## Abstract ## Background. Cystic lymph node metastases have been associated with tonsil cancer. A subset of oropharyngeal cancers contain human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA. The clinical and virologic associations of cystic nodal metastasis in head and neck cancer (HNSCC) were investigated. ## Metho

## Abstract ## Background. The CD44 family of receptors includes multiple variant isoforms, some of which have been linked to tumor progression. The objective of this study was to investigate whether CD44 v3βcontaining isoforms are involved in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) tumor pr
tissue examined. This study was undertaken to estimate the frequency of HPV DNA in squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) at different sites of the esophagus, head and neck and
Background. The aim of this study was to investigate the value of p53 and cyclin D1 gene expression in predicting the risk of occult lymph node metastases in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Methods. The expression of cyclin D1 and p53 was evaluated by means of immunohis
## Background: Neck metastasis is a major prognostic factor of head and neck carcinoma, but its preoperative detection is currently unreliable. molecular markers of the metastatic potential of a carcinoma would help to avoid unnecessary neck dissection in patients with nonmetastatic cancer. ## Met
