Detection of epidermal growth factor receptor mutations in plasma by mutant-enriched PCR assay for prediction of the response to gefitinib in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer.

13 Nov 2009 The high frequency of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations in tyrosine kinase inhibitor-responsive non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cases is now well established, highlighting the predictive value of activating EGFR mutations in ... Read more...

Primary intraosseous squamous cell carcinoma of the jaws. Clinicopathologic presentation and prognostic factors.

30 Oct 2009 CONTEXT: Primary intraosseous squamous cell carcinoma is a rare form of squamous cell carcinoma, arising within the jaws. OBJECTIVE: To clarify the clinicopathologic and behavioral spectrum of primary intraosseous squamous cell carcinoma. DESIGN: ... Read more...

Association of cystic neck metastases and human papillomavirus-positive oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma.

30 Oct 2009 Human papillomavirus is an established cause of oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma. Similar to cervical cancer, these cancers are usually caused by high-risk human papillomavirus types 16 and 18 and are associated with high-risk sexual behaviors. ... Read more...
