• Abstract

  Chemoresistance is a major cause of the failure in the therapy used for the cancer treatment, increasing rates of recurrence and metastasis. It has been suggested that chemoresistance is driven by a small group of cells identified as cancer stem cells. In head and neck cancer, cancer stem cells population is accumulated after chemotherapy e epigenetic modifications may be controlling this…

• Abstract

  Oral carcinoma is responsible for many deaths each year and has a great capacity to develop recurrences and metastases due to failures in therapy associated with chemoresistance. Conventional treatments such as radio and chemotherapy destroy differentiated tumor cells, but a small population called tumor stem cells remain intact and repopulate the tumor. These treatments favor the increas…

• Abstract

  Oral carcinoma is responsible for many deaths around the world and it has high capacity to develop recurrences and metastases due to failures in therapy promoted by chemoresistance. Conventional treatments such as radio and chemotherapy are capable of destroying differentiated cells of the tumor, but a small population called cancer stem cells remains intact and repopulates the tumor. Man…

• Abstract

  Head and Neck cancer is the sixth most prevalent cancer worldwide. It involves a heterogeneous group of tumors that originates from the lip, oral cavity, oropharyngeal, hypopharyngeal, laryngeal, sinonasal tract and nasopharyngeal. These tumors are commonly classified as squamous cell carcinomas. They constitute 90% of the Head and Neck cancers and they present high rates of recurrence, m…
