Re: Interaction between Tobacco and Alcohol Consumption and the Risk of Cancers of the Upper Aero-Digestive Tract in Brazil. Letter to the editor

W. J. Waddell, +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the joint effects of tobacco and alcohol consumption on the risk of squamous cell carcinomas of the upper aero-digestive tract (UADT) using data from a hospital-based case-control study conducted in southern Brazil, 1986-1989.

A review of the most promising biomarkers for early diagnosis and prognosis prediction of tongue squamous cell carcinoma.

TL;DR: Although more exploratory research is needed with newer methods to identify biomarkers for TSCC, rigorous validation of biomarkers that have already shown unbiased assessment in at least two publications should be considered a high priority.

Nimbolide, a neem limonoid inhibits cytoprotective autophagy to activate apoptosis via modulation of the PI3K/Akt/GSK-3β signalling pathway in oral cancer.

TL;DR: Insight is provided into the molecular mechanisms by which nimbolide augments apoptosis by overcoming the shielding effects of cytoprotective autophagy through modulation of the phosphorylation status of Akt and GSK-3β as well as the ncRNAs miR-126 and HOTAIR.

Global Burden of Head and Neck Cancer: Economic Consequences, Health, and the Role of Surgery.

TL;DR: The mortality burden of head and neck cancer is increasing and disproportionately affects those in low- and middle-income countries and regions with limited surgical workforces, which results in large and growing economic losses in countries that already face significant resource constraints.

Cancer statistics, 2016

TL;DR: Overall cancer incidence trends are stable in women, but declining by 3.1% per year in men, much of which is because of recent rapid declines in prostate cancer diagnoses, and brain cancer has surpassed leukemia as the leading cause of cancer death among children and adolescents.

Global epidemiology of oral and oropharyngeal cancer

TL;DR: This review presents data on incidence, mortality, survival and trends in cancers of the lip, oral cavity and oropharynx using available recent data sources around the world to gain insight into the geographic variations in the incidence of this cancer in the globe.

Case-control study of human papillomavirus and oropharyngeal cancer.

TL;DR: Oropharyngeal cancer was significantly associated with oral HPV type 16 (HPV-16) infection, and the degree of association increased with the number of vaginal-sex and oral-sex partners, among subjects with or without the established risk factors of tobacco and alcohol use.

Improved Survival of Patients With Human Papillomavirus–Positive Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma in a Prospective Clinical Trial

TL;DR: For patients with HNSCC of the oropharynx, tumor HPV status is strongly associated with therapeutic response and survival and, after adjustment for age, tumor stage, and ECOG performance status, lower risks of progression and death are found.
