Molecular phenotyping of head and neck cancer

Chapter
Part of the Cancer Treatment and Research book series (CTAR, volume 74)

Abstract

Squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck accounts for 5% of all cancers in the United States, where approximately 45,000 new cases of head and neck cancer were expected in 1992 [1]. However, the estimated international incidence of cancers of this region is significantly higher than in the United States. For example, nasopharyngeal carcinomas occur 25 times more frequently in Southern China than in the Caucasian population [2], and India records 30% of all its cancers to be in the oropharyngeal region [3].
