## Background: There is a need for a classification system for prognosis based on the tnm system for patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck such that patient groupings are homogeneous within and heterogeneous between. ## Methods: Six hundred fifty-five consecutive patients wit

## Background: Head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (hnsccs) were previously shown to express a repertoire of cytokines and angiogenesis factors that contribute to malignant pathogenesis and are detectable in serum. pretreatment and posttreatment serum levels of cytokines and angiogenesis factors
## Abstract YKLβ40 is a glycoprotein secreted by macrophages, neutrophils and malignant tumor cells. Elevated serum levels of YKLβ40 are associated with poor prognosis in several malignancies. In this study, we examined the prognostic value of serum YKLβ40 before treatment and during followβup in p
