Head And Neck Cancer Recurrences Detected Earlier By Routine Follow-Up Scans
Routine use of positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) scans in head and neck cancer patient follow-up can detect local recurrences before they become clinically apparent and may improve the outcome of subsequent salvage therapy, according to a study presented at the Multidisciplinary Head and Neck Cancer Symposium, sponsored by AHNS, ASCO, ASTRO and SNM…

Studies Reveal the Genetic Complexity of Head and Neck Squamous Cell Cancers
Two independent, multi-institution research teams have identified a large number of previously unknown genetic defects associated with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), the most common form of head and neck cancer. The researchers sequenced the entire protein-coding regions, or exomes, of the DNA in dozens of patient tissue samples, and the findings were published online July 28 in two papers in Science.

Convergence in head and neck cancer
Using powerful new technologies, researchers have confirmed genetic abnormalities previously suspected in head and neck cancer, including defects in the tumor suppressor gene known as p53. The researchers also found a surprising set of mutations in the NOTCH family of genes, suggesting their role as regulators of an important stage in cell development may be impaired.

Benefit of PET in patients with head and neck tumors cannot be assessed, study suggests
The benefit and harm of positron emission tomography (PET) in patients with head and neck tumors, applied alone or in combination with computed tomography (CT), cannot currently be reliably assessed, as suitable studies are lacking.
