Areca nut and betel quid chewing among South Asian immigrants to Western countries and its implications for oral cancer screening.

12 May 2009 The South Asian community is the largest and one of the fastest growing minority groups in Canada, according to the 2006 census. These immigrants bring to Canada talents and skills that can promote Canada's economy and cultural diversity, but they ... Read more...

Cytoplasmic accumulation of activated leukocyte cell adhesion molecule is a predictor of disease progression and reduced survival in oral cancer patients.

29 Apr 2009 Activated leukocyte cell adhesion molecule (ALCAM) has been proposed to function as a cell surface sensor for cell density, controlling the transition between local cell proliferation and tissue invasion in cancer progression. Herein, we determined ... Read more...

Screening for dysfunction to promote multidisciplinary intervention by using the University of Washington Quality of Life Questionnaire.

30 Mar 2009 OBJECTIVE: To investigate the potential of the University of Washington Quality of Life Questionnaire (UW-QOL) in routine clinics as a quick screening tool for possible dysfunction in patients after treatment of head and neck cancer. DESIGN: ... Read more...
