TL;DR: The genotypes of the ADH2, ADH3, and ALDH2 loci of alcoholic and nonalcoholic Chinese men living in Taiwan are determined using leukocyte DNA amplified by the PCR and allele-specific oligonucleotides, suggesting that genetic variation in both ADH and AL DH, by modulating the rate of metabolism of ethanol and acetaldehyde, influences drinking behavior and the risk of developing alcoholism.

TL;DR: The results highlight the prognostic value of the pN+ number in p16-negative OPSCC and HPSCC patients with pN3b status and generate predictive nomograms that incorporated the clinicopathological factors of OS and CSS.

TL;DR: The major predisposing factors of developing oral cancer include smoking, alcohol drinking, and betel quid chewing as discussed by the authors , which could cause the abrasion and damage of oral mucosa by crude fibers, chemical insults by additive slaked lime, and arecoline from areca nut.

TL;DR: To evaluate the importance of depth of invasion (DOI) in patients with pathologically low‐risk feature stage I oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) managed by primary tumor resection alone, data are presented on mice treated with a single excision for OSCC.

TL;DR: In this paper , a retrospective cohort study was conducted to assess the prognostic value of preoperative albumin-to-alkaline phosphatase ratio (AAPR) on survival outcome for patients with locally advanced oral squamous cell carcinoma.
