DRAINAGE PATTERNS OF LYMPHATIC CHANNELS IN THE HEAD AND NECK

Epstein-Barr Virus
Infectious Mononucleosis.— EBV has been implicated in several disease processes. The majority of adults have serologic evidence of exposure to the virus. Infections are often asympto- matic in young children. In adolescents and[r]

Despite advances in diagnostic and treatment strategies, head and neck squamous cell cancer (HNSCC) constitutes one of the worst cancer types in terms of prognosis. PTEN is one of the tumour suppressors whose expression and/or activity have been found to be reduced in HNSCC, with rather low rates of[r]

shown to result in higher cure rates compared with radiotherapy alone when drug combinations including cisplatin, 5-FU, and a taxane are used.
Concomitant Chemoradiotherapy
With the concomitant strategy, chemotherapy and radiation therapy are given simulta[r]

A parametric sweep consists of multiple instances of the same program, usually serial, running concurrently, with input supplied by an input file and output directed to an output file. There is no communication or interdependency among the tasks. Typically, [r]

Infection with human papillomavirus (HPV) is necessary for the development of cervical carcinoma. By contrast, the role of HPV in the pathogenesis of other malignancies, such as head and neck cancers, is less well characterised.

Reverse fold up the neck, part of neck is inside the body, you know the neck is right when it touches at the underlying layers in the front.. Another outside reverse fold for the head.[r]

Sentinel lymph node metastasis is a common and early event in the metastatic process of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) and is the most powerful prognostic factor for survival of HNSCC patients.

In the context of early detection of head and neck cancers (HNC), the aim of this study was to describe how people sought medical consultation during the year prior to diagnosis and the impact on the stage of the cancer.

Geometrical distortions are caused by nonlinearities in the magnetic gradients, inhomogeneities in the static magnetic field, and chemical shift or magnetic suscept- ibility artifacts. In modern MR scanners, the problems with field inhomogeneities are[r]

Melanotic neuroectodermal tumor of infancy (MNTI) is exceptionally rare and occurs predominantly in the head and neck (92.8 % cases). The patient reported here is only the eighth case of MNTI presenting in an extremity, and the first reported in the fibula.

There is a dramatic rise in the incidence of Human papillomavirus (HPV) – associated head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) in the world, with considerable variation by geography, gender and ethnicity.

The radiation field for patients with postoperative head and neck squamous cell carcinoma is narrower in our institution than in Western countries to reduce late radiation related toxicities. This strategy is at a risk of loco-regional or distant metastasis.

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a type of head-neck cancer with a distinguishable geographic and racial distribution worldwide. Increasing evidence supports that the accumulation of additional genetic and epigenetic abnormalities is important in driving the NPC tumorigenic process.

Squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN) remains a prevalent and devastating disease. Recently, there has been an increase in SCCHN cases that are associated with high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) infection.

Radical radiotherapy, with or without concomitant chemotherapy forms the mainstay of organ preservation approaches in mucosal primary head and neck cancer. Despite technical advances in cancer imaging and radiotherapy administration, a significant proportion of patients fail to achieve a complete re[r]
