## Abstract ## Background. Treatment of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) addresses the primary tumor and the lymphatic drainage. Modalities for the neck are neck dissection and/or radiation therapy. In most cases, the neck is treated by the modality that seems more appropriate for the

Abstract
Recent molecular epidemiological studies have demonstrated that the human oxoguanine glycosylase 1 (OGG1) gene polymorphism may be associated with various cancers. To determine whether the OGG1 Ser326Cys polymorphism interacts with clinicopathological parameters including smoking and alcohol intake in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), DNA samples from 192 patients with primary HNSCC were genotyped and studied by the caseβonly design. We observed an association between the Cys/Cys genotype and HNSCC with cigarette smoking of more than 40 packβyears by a multivariate logistic regression analysis (ORβ=β8.10, 95% CIβ=β1.06β61.73). No significant association of this genotype with alcohol intake was observed. Our present data suggest a possible interaction between the OGG1 Ser326Cys polymorphism and smoking in HNSCC.

Gm, A2m, and Km allotypic markers were examined in 40 Caucasian patients with squamous cell carcinomas of the head and neck. Serum IgA levels, the A2m(l) allotypic marker, and antibodies against IgAl, A2m(l), and A2m(2) were measured quantitatively. The frequency of Km(1) was found to be significant
## Abstract The soluble frizzled receptor protein (__SFRP__) family encodes antagonists of the WNT pathway, and silencing of these genes, through promoter hypermethylation, leads to constitutive WNT signaling. In bladder cancers, hypermethylation of the __SFRP__ genes occurs more often in current a
Seventy-six cases of well-differentiated lymphocytic lymphoma (WDLL) were reviewed for evidence of additional malignancies. Of these, 18 patients (24%) had one to three further tumors; one half (nine) had squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). The head and neck area was the primary site in all but one case
