Background and Objectives: Carcinoma of the head and neck is an uncommon primary source of bone metastases. The increasing duration of survival of these patients, however, increases the probability of late bone involvement. The objective was to identify the frequency, clinical presentation, and clin

Forty-one patients with Stage 111 and IV squamous cell carcinomas (SCC) of the head and neck were treated preoperatively with mitomycin C and 5-fluorouracil and concomitant radiotherapy. Operation specimen were examined histologically, the percentage of vital tumor cells and devitalized tumor cells
Background. The progression of tumor growth requires the recruitment of new blood vessels. It has been suggested that the degree of neovascularization would correlate with clinical prognosis. The purpose of the present study was to ascertain whether tumor vascularization correlated with clinical out
## Purpose: To analyze parameters that influence the risk of distant metastases after definitive radiotherapy. ## Methods: Between 1983 and 1997, 873 patients were treated with definitive radiotherapy and had follow-up for 2 years or more. univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to ev
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
## Abstract ## Background and Objective In the last years, photodynamic therapy, performed with hematoporphyrin derivatives, gained in importance for the treatment of superficially situated malignomas. The use of hematoporphyrin as photosensitizer is limited especially by the low depth of penetrat
