## Abstract ## Background The association between nodal ratio and survival in oral cavity carcinomas has recently been proposed, but no prospective evaluations exist. ## Methods We sought to determine, using an institutional database, whether nodal ratio impacts survival in nodeβpositive oral ca

We have examined the ability of gamma-irradiation and bleomycin to induce apoptosis in a model system consisting of cell lines derived from naturally occurring human head-and-neck squamous-cell carcinomas with contrasting p53 status and expression levels of pro- and anti-apoptotic molecules.

## Abstract ## Background. Stage migration occurs when new diagnostic modalities provide additional information, leading to reclassification of disease stage. Our objective was to examine whether stage migration occurs with inclusion of positron emission tomography (PET) scans in staging head and
## 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
