Background
Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in genes that act in intrinsic apoptosis pathway may modulate cancer susceptibility. This study investigated the roles of CASP9 c.‐1339A>G (rs4645978) and CASP3 c.‐1191A>G (rs12108497) SNPs on risk and behavior of head and neck (HN) squamous cell carcinoma (SCC).
Methods
DNA of 350 patients with HNSCC and 350 controls was analyzed by polymerase...
Background
Mucoepidermoid carcinoma is the most common malignant tumor of salivary glands. Apoptosis plays an important role in organogenesis of glandular structures, and aberrations of apoptotic mechanisms is associated with a wide array of pathologic conditions.
Methods
The immunoexpression of proteins associated with apoptosis and proliferation was evaluated in 40 mucoepidermoid carcinoma cases...
Background
To investigate the benefits of adjunctive Chinese herbal medicine (CHM) for patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC).
Methods
We included all patients diagnosed with NPC during 1997‐2009 and followed until 2011 in Taiwan. We used 1:1 frequency matching by age, sex, comorbidity, conventional treatment, and index year to compare the CHM users and non‐CHM users (n = 2542 each). The...
