Mitochondrial DNA quantity increases with histopathologic grade in premalignant and malignant head and neck lesions.

TL;DR: This study shows that mtDNA increases according to histopathologic grade, a phenomenon that may be a feedback mechanism that compensates for a generalized decline in respiratory chain function, Therefore, high mtDNA content may be another marker of genetic alteration, a measure of relative DNA injury, and a surrogate measure of histopathological grade.
Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular pathology of head-and-neck cancer.

TL;DR: Improved molecular characterization of primary tumors, surgical margins and body fluids may allow clinicians to detect and treat earlier lesions, predict a tumor's response to treatment, tailor treatment to specific molecular alterations and ultimately improve clinical outcomes related to HNSC.
Journal ArticleDOI

Habitual risk factors for head and neck cancer.

TL;DR: Habitual and social risk factors for cancer of the head and neck, excluding smoking and alcohol consumption are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Use of customized polyetheretherketone (PEEK) implants in the reconstruction of complex maxillofacial defects.

TL;DR: This work describes a series of 4 patients whose defects were reconstructed using customized PEEK implants that had excellent postoperative aesthetic and functional results without complications such as infections or extrusions.
