Mechanistic considerations in the molecular epidemiology of head and neck cancer.

IARC scientific publications - 1 Jan 2004

Brennan Paul, Boffetta Paolo

Abstract excerpt

Head and neck cancer occurs through a complex multistage process that is likely to involve a combination of carcinogen exposure and genetic susceptibility. The primary cause of head and neck cancer are alcohol consumption and cigarette smoking, although the carcinogenic mechanism for these agents is unclear. Molecular epidemiological studies of head and neck cancer can help to clarify the carcinogenic process in...
