## Abstract Molecular prognostic indicators for oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), including HPVโDNA detection, epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and p16 expression, have been suggested in the literature, but none of these are currently used in clinical practice. To compare these p
## Abstract Interleukinโ6 (ILโ6) is a multifunctional cytokine produced by macrophages, T cells, B cells, endothelial cells and tumour cells. Interleukinโ6 is able to promote tumour growth by upregulating antiโapoptotic and angiogenic proteins in tumour cells. In murine models it has been demonstra
## Abstract MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are noncoding RNAs that regulate expression of target mRNAs and are controlled by tumor suppressors and oncogenes. Altered expression of specific miRNAs in several tumor types and its association with poor prognosis parameters have been reported. Fewer data are availa
## Background: In patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (hnscc) the estimated prognosis is usually based on the tnm classification. the relative weight of the three contributing parameters is often not completely clear. moreover, the impact of other important clinical variables such a
