Protein-energy and carnitine status in patients with upper aerodigestive tract cancer
… status of 51 patients with cancer of the upper aerodigestive tract (UAT) was undertaken. Nutritional status was evaluated by dietary, anthropométrie and biochemical methods including the détermination of camitine and selected vitamins. The protein-energy status was monitored by serum transport …

Radioresistance in oral squamous cell carcinoma
… of small tumours of the oral cavity and upper aerodigestive tract, in the absence of metastatic disease, can be successfully treated with surgery or radiotherapy. Despite this most small tumours of the oral cavity are now treated with surgery as the primary treatment modality with radiotherapy …

Proteomic profiling of matched normal and tumour tongue biopsies from smokers and non-smokers. Oncoproteomic applications for oral tongue squamous cell carcinoma biomarker discovery
… with over 90% of HNSCCs arising in the upper aerodigestive tract. Therefore, the purpose of this thesis was to identify HNSCC biomarkers in males associated within defined anatomical region (tongue) and causative agents, specific to smoking. An iTRAQ proteomic approach was used to profile …

Signal Transduction Effects Induced by Erythropoietin in a HNSCC Model System
… is an epithelial skin cancer of the upper aerodigestive tract, and is the sixth most common malignancy in the U.S. HNSCC patients undergoing chemotherapy commonly develop anemia, a condition in which the body lacks mature red blood cells (RBCs). Erythropoietin (EPO) is a systemically …

Characterization of Notch1 and Pi3K-Pten-Akt/Mtor Pathway Interaction In Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma
… affects various mucosal sites of the upper aerodigestive tract, including the nasal and oral cavities, the nasopharynx, and the oropharynx. More than five hundred thousand new cases of HNSCC occurred in 2011 alone, with 50,000 reported cases in the United States. This trend made HNSCC the …

Ethanol-induced formation of colorectal tumours and precursors in a mouse model of Lynch syndrome
… risk factors for sporadic cancers of the upper aerodigestive tract, liver, breast and colorectum. Acetaldehyde is metabolised to acetate by the Aldh family of enzymes, particularly Aldh1b1 in the intestines. Acetaldehyde is very reactive and may cause a range of DNA lesions. However, DNA repair …

Operieren oder Beobachten des Halses nach laserchirurgischer Resektion von Malignomen des oberen Aerodigestivtrakts mit N0-Hals
Hintergrund: Das Management für den N0-Hals bei Tumoren des oberen Aerodigestivtrakts wird kontrovers diskutiert. Da Neck-Dissections zu einer erhöhten Morbidität führen können, insbesondere, wenn modifiziert radikal durchgeführt, war die Absicht dieser Studie, die Umstände, unter denen eine …
