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...

Temporal trends in the incidence and survival of cancers of the upper aerodigestive tract in Ontario and the United States.

30 Oct 2009 The Ontario Cancer Registry (OCR) and the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) databases were used to describe temporal trends in the incidence and survival of squamous cancers of the upper aerodigestive tract (UADT) in Ontario and the ... Read more...

Radiotherapy and concomitant intra-arterial docetaxel combined with systemic 5-fluorouracil and cisplatin for oropharyngeal cancer: a preliminary report--improvement of locoregional control of oropharyngeal cancer.

29 Sep 2009 PURPOSE: To confirm the advantage of chemoradiotherapy using intra-arterial docetaxel with intravenous cisplatin and 5-fluorouracil. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A total of 26 oropharyngeal cancer patients (1, 2, 2, and 21 patients had Stage I, II, III, ... Read more...
