## Abstract Cyclooxygenaseβ2 (COXβ2), an enzyme that catalyzes the synthesis of prostaglandins, is overexpressed in a variety of premalignant and malignant conditions, including oral leukoplakia and squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck. Increased levels of COXβ2 may contribute to carcinogen

## Background: Human trials of alloantigen gene therapy, using the class i major histocompatibility complex (mhc) hla-b7, have demonstrated the potential efficacy of this treatment for head and neck cancer. its mechanism remains unclear. an immune-competent mouse model of mhc gene therapy to test f
## Abstract ## Objectives: Knowledge of prognostic factors is essential for patient care and research. The objectives of this study were to demonstrate that prognostic factors and their impact can vary depending on study design and to examine the relationships between select prognostic factors. #
## Abstract Tumor cells were first shown to exhibit a distinct metabolic phenotype over 80 years ago. Since then, it has become clear that multiple oncogenic events contribute to the development of a metabolic phenotype that supports rapid proliferation. Because this phenotype represents an essenti
Carcinoma cell lines are frequently refractory to transforming growth factor-beta (TGF beta)-mediated cell cycle arrest. Whether and how TGF beta signaling is disrupted in the majority of human tumors, however, remains unclear. To investigate whether TGF beta signaling might be disrupted by inactiva
## Abstract Distant metastasis is a major factor associated with poor prognosis in head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC), but little is known of its molecular mechanisms. New markers that predict clinical outcome, in particular the ability of primary tumors to develop metastatic tumors, ar
