• Abstract

  Introduction: Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinomas (HNSCC) are tumors frequently associated with excessive consumption of alcohol and tobacco and, more recently, human papillomavirus (HPV) infections, especially in oropharyngeal tumors. HPV-positive tumors present a distinct clinical and epidemiological behavior, characterized by an increase in incidence, by affecting younger individual…

  Detection of HPV of types 16 and 18 by Digital PCR in samples of paraffin-embedded tumor tissue from patients with oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma, BP.IC

• Abstract

  Head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC) have as main risk factor the consumption of alcohol and tobacco, besides also being associated with infection by the human papilloma virus (HPV), especially in oropharyngeal tumors. They are commonly related to high rates of incidence, morbidity and mortality, presenting a great complexity in the management of the patients because of their et…

  Detection and characterization of molecular alterations in tissue samples and body fluids from patients with head and neck tumors, BP.MS

• Abstract

  Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is associated with high rates of incidence, morbidity, mortality. Currently, the choice of treatment for these patients depends on the determination of tumor stage. However, patients with tumors of the same stage and same location may present different outcomes.Recently, infection with human papilloma virus (HPV) has been described as an etiol…

  Comparison of the methylation profile of specific genes between HPV-positive and HPV-negative tumors from patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, BP.PD

(Only some records are available in English at this moment)

• Abstract

  The aim of this study is to characterize genetic and epigenetic alterations in paired tumor and body fluids from patients with HNSCC, treated at the Department of Head and Neck Surgery of the Barretos Cancer Hospital. We expect to identify molecular markers that can classify patients according to their evolution, and to evaluate cancer-specific markers in liquid biopsies from these patien…
