The pattern of metastases in patients who died of epidermoid cancer of the head and neck area, between 1954 and 1967, at the Veterans Administration Research Hospital, Chicago, was studied. One hundred fifty-tlwee patients died of epidermoid cancer of the head and neck; metastases below the clavicle

Background. Biologic aggressiveness of head and neck carcinoma is reflected in its capability to metastasize to regional lymph nodes and its propensity to recur after treatment. Methods. The authors report on 244 patients treated at the Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery of the Free
## BACKGROUND. Sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy originally was described as a means of identifying lymph node metastases in malignant melanoma and breast carcinoma. The use of SLN biopsy in patients with oral and oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma and clinically N0 necks was investigated to det
In head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC), metastasis to cervical lymph nodes is a major determinant of patient outcome. To detect metastases, we used the MET oncogene as marker, which encodes the receptor for hepatocyte growth factor/scatter factor, mediating epithelial cell motility and in
## We have previously reported that immune anti-tumor effector cells, both cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs ) and IL-2-activated natural killer (A-NK) cells, are effective at eliminating human head-and-neck cancer (HNC) targets in vitro and in vivo in xenograft models. In this study, these 2 types of
