## Background: The objective of the current study was to evaluate the impact of race (black vs. white) on the outcome of patients with invasive squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck. ## Methods: Between 1983 and 1997, 686 patients completed definitive, twice-daily radiotherapy (rt) alone o
## Abstract Not all patients with squamous cell carcinomas of the head and neck (HNSCC) benefit from concurrent cisplatinβbased chemoradiation, but reliable predictive markers for outcome after chemoradiation are scarce. We have investigated potential prognostic biomarkers for outcome in a large gr
## Abstract ## BACKGROUND Many patients with small primary tumors of the oropharynx have AJCC Stage III/IV disease on the basis of lymphadenopathy. In the current retrospective study, the authors hypothesized that these patients have high rates of locoregional control when treated with radiotherap
## Abstract Combined simultaneous radiotherapy and multidrug chemotherapy have been utilized in an attempt to eradicate or shrink tumors of the head and neck area in advanced stages to allow subsequent surgical extirpation. Thirtyβsix patients (1 stage II; 11 stage III; 24 stage IV; 1 unknown prima
