2. Routine Use of Swallowing Outcome Measures Following Head and Neck Cancer in a Multidisciplinary Clinic Setting
Abstract Introduction Chemoradiotherapy treatment for head and neck cancer (HNC) can have a major impact on swallowing function and health-related quality of life. The use of outcome measures in early detection of patients with swallowing problems provides the opportunity for targeting speech and language therapy (SLT) interventions to aid adaption and prom

3. Associação entre a periodontite crônica e o câncer de boca e/ou orofaringe / Association between chronic periodontitis and oral cavity and/or oropharynx cancer
O objetivo desse trabalho foi determinar a prevalência, extensão e severidade da periodontite crônica em pacientes com câncer de boca e/ou orofaringe e verificar se essa forma de doença periodontal é indicadora de risco para essas neoplasias. Trinta e cinco pacientes com câncer de boca e/ou orofaringe, atendidos no Instituto Nacional de Câncer (INCA)

4. p16 (INK4a) has clinicopathological and prognostic impact on oropharynx and larynx squamous cell carcinoma
CDKN2A encodes proteins such as p16 (INK4a), which negatively regulate the cell-cycle. Molecular genetic studies have revealed that deletions in CDKN2A occur frequently in cancer. Although p16 (INK4a) may be involved in tumor progression, the clinical impact and prognostic implications in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) are controversial. The o

5. Education, tobacco smoking, alcohol consumption, and IL-2 and IL-6 gene polymorphisms in the survival of head and neck cancer
The association of education, tobacco smoking, alcohol consumption, and interleukin-2 (IL-2 +114 and -384) and -6 (IL-6 -174) DNA polymorphisms with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) was investigated in a cohort study of 445 subjects. IL-2 and IL-6 genotypes were determined by real-time PCR. Cox regression was used to estimate hazard ratios (HR)

6. Profile of home care and general physiotherapy and palliative care to a group of patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis / Perfil da assistencia domiciliar generica e fisioterapeutica e cuidados paliativos a um grupo de pacientes com esclerose lateral amiotrofica
The amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is degenerative disease of the upper and lower motor neurons, progressive and fatal and is characterized by progressive paralysis of members, oropharynx and respiratory muscles and consequent dysphagia, dysarthria and respiratory failure. The disease is considered a paradigm for palliative care cancer, despite the abse

7. Osteopontina como marcador de resposta à radioterapia e quimioterapia em pacientes com câncer de cabeça e pescoço localmente avançado / Osteopontin as a marker of response to chemotherapy and radiotherapy in patients with locally advanced head and neck cancer
INTRODUCTION: Osteopontin (OPN) is a glycoprotein present in tissues and body fluids involved in several pathological processes that include inflammation, cell proliferation, invasion of the extracellular matrix, tumor progression and metastasis. In head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) patients, OPN has been associated with greater tumor aggressiven

8. Recidiva local de carcinomas epidermóides da boca e orofaringe: estudo de variáveis anatomopatológicas e de marcadores biológicos associados ao prognóstico em pacientes submetidos à cirurgia de resgate / Local recurrence of squamous cell carcinomas of the mouth and oropharynx: a study of anatomic pathology variables and biological markers associated with prognosis in patients submitted to salvage surgery
INTRODUÇÃO: Recidivas locais e loco-regionais são as principais causas de falha do tratamento em pacientes portadores de carcinomas epidermóides de boca e orofaringe. A cirurgia de resgate é geralmente a melhor opção terapêutica para esses pacientes. Esse estudo tem por objetivo avaliar a importância prognóstica da expressão das proteínas EGFR, M

10. Incidence and cumulative risk of oral cancer in São Paulo City: 1969, 1973, 1978 e 1998. São Paulo, 2003 / Incidência e risco acumulado de câncer de boca no município de São Paulo: 1969, 1973, 1978 e 1998
Introduction. In 1998, oral cancer was the eleventh most frequent site of all malignant neoplasms in São Paulo, in males, comprising 1.6% of the global incidence (except for the cancer of skin). According to the São Paulo Cancer Registry this incidence has not decreased in recent years. Furthermore, this type of cancer is highly frequent in this city in co

11. Eficacia do exame clinico e tomografia computadorizada na detecção de metastases linfonodais e da linfocintilografia na avaliação da drenagem linfatica em carcinoma espinocelular de boca e orofaringe
Clinical examination alone is not enough to establish the true extenuation of local involvement and regional metastases in oral and oropharyngeal carcinomas. The objectives of this work were to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of computed tomography (CT) to determine regional metastases, and to verify the migration of 99mTc-Dextran by Iymphoscintigra
