Applications of molecular epidemiology to head and neck cancer.

Abstract excerpt

Cancer may be viewed as a genetic disease characterized by the failure of cellular mechanisms to maintain genomic integrity. Molecular progression models defining genetic damage are being developed for a number of solid tumors including head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. Genetic alteration of certain classes of genes, the tumor suppressor genes and proto-oncogenes, seem to be common events in such models....
