Head and Neck Cancer - Advances in Basic Research: Proceedings of the International Symposium on Advances in Head and Neck Cancer, Kiel, Germany, 18-20 January 1996

Proceedings of the January 1996 symposium. Contributors provide an overview of the field as well as recent advances in basic research methods, tumorigenesis, diagnosis, and treatment. Topics include tobacco carcinogenesis and head and neck cancer; epidermal growth factor receptor in head and neck squamous cell carcinomas; association between HPV presence and age in oral squamous cell carcinoma; Cathepsin D: an independent prognostic factor for lymph node metastasis of laryngeal cancer; the tumor marker CYFRA 21-1 in the diagnosis of head and neck tumors; and cancer vaccines in melanoma: studies in man and in experimental animals. .
