It is estimated that approximately 50,000 patients develop head and neck cancer annually in the United States, of whom approximately 50% succumb to this cancer. For most cases of SCCHN, treatment is multimodal, often combining surgery or irradiation with chemotherapy; even successfully treated patients frequently experience durable and severe side effects. Improving cure rates and reducing chronic morbidity are urgent clinical needs for head and neck cancer. However, in contrast to cancer types such as breast or prostate that have been much studied and have well-defined biology, until recently, relatively few researchers investigated the molecular basis of HNC, making it difficult to design targeted treatments with better efficacy and less debilitating side effects. ..This volume will provide an overview of the factors contributing to disease pathogenesis, including the recognition of discrete molecular subtyp | 出版日期 | Book 2018Latest edition | 关键词 | DNA repair; Genomics; Head and neck cancer; Human Papillomavirus; Hypoxia; Molecular determinants | 版次 | 2 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-78762-6 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-030-08779-1 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-319-78762-6Series ISSN 2199-2584 Series E-ISSN 2199-2592 | issn_series | 2199-2584 | copyright | Springer International Publishing AG, part of Springer Nature 2018 |
