## Abstract ## Background. There is considerable interest in the expression of cancer testis (CT) antigens in human cancers, because they may serve as the basis for diagnostic tests or an immunologic approach to therapy, or as prognostic markers. ## Methods. On this basis, we evaluated by semiqu

## 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 The immune reactivity of 100 head and neck cancer patients was studied by means of DNCB, candidine, blastic transformation with PHA, and lymphocyte counts. DNCB reactivity was strong in only 21% of the population and was found impaired in patients with advanced primitive tumors, with m
## Abstract ## Background Despite improvements in locoregional treatment of stages III/IV squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (HNSCC), local and distant failure rates remain high. An effective adjuvant therapy is required for these patients. Among novel approaches is radioimmunotherapy, i
An assay which could prospectively predict a response to chemotherapy prior to instituting therapy would be beneficial, especially for nonresponders. We evaluated at random a total of 50 patients with previously untreated stage 111 and IV head and neck squamous cell carcinoma for T-cell subsets and
