A lmadori et al. reported decreased serum folate and increased homocysteine concentrations in patients with head and neck carcinoma compared with healthy nonsmokers or smokers. 1 The authors concluded that these metabolic alterations might promote or derive from disease progression. Similarly, decre

## Abstract ## Background Germline mutations at the __INK4a/p16__ locus are implicated in several human cancer syndromes, including familial atypical multiple mole melanoma (FAMMM) syndrome, FAMMMβpancreatic cancer (FAMMMβPC) syndrome, and in familial head and neck cancer syndrome. ## Methods We
## Abstract MicroRNAs (mirs) are small noncoding RNA molecules (βΌ22 nucleotides) that regulate posttranscriptional gene expression. Currently, there has not been a comprehensive study of their role in primary head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). To determine the role of mirs in HNSCC, we
## Abstract Inactivation of the __p16^INK4A^__ (__CDKN2A)__ gene in the Rb pathway is among the most common somatic alterations observed in tobaccoβrelated solid tumors, including head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). In addition, a low folate diet is an important risk factor for HNSCC. De
