It has been observed that cancer incidence and mortality rates tend to be higher in countries with a low and medium Human Development Index (HDI), as rapid socio-economic growth leads to the adoption of unhealthy lifestyles, behaviors, and environmental factors. A review of substance use across...
Human papillomavirus (HPV).A specific type ofHPVis linked to more than two-thirds of oropharyngeal cancers, which affect areas such as the back of the tongue, throat, and tonsils. It's becoming more common in younger people and in people who have multiple sex partners. Age.Oral cancers can...

The fascial attachments of each abdominal belly are specifically linked to a selection of the three aponeuroses; these include the proximal, distal, and median. The bellies of the second and fifth digits are connected to the proximal belly by way of the median aponeurosis. Of all the bellies...
Relative risks compute at a less spectacular level as soon as the spontaneous cancer-rates have their own rapid climb (away from zero) in the denominator of such ratios. We have been able to mirror these observations, in a generic way, with Curves A and B, which generate Curve C. The ...
head and neck cancer, any of a group ofmalignantdiseases that originate variously in theoral cavity(including thelipsand the mouth), the nasal cavity, the paranasal sinuses, thelarynx(voicebox), thepharynx(throat), or thesalivary glands. Incidence rates for head andneckcancervary worldwide, wit...
During this first part of the century, two concepts became more solid and finally accepted: (a) there is a virus (MMTV/HMTV) well established in humans, strictly connected to breast carcinoma; (b) the same virus (or highly homologous) is strictly connected with the primary biliary cholangiti...
These results have the potential to improve survival rates and quality of life by enabling early intervention and personalized nutritional management. Keywords: RF-CSA; muscle mass; malnutrition; survival; oropharyngeal cancer; sarcopenia; random forest; decision tree...
Surgical treatment is one of the main therapeutic options, but it can be a challenging process due to the complex anatomy of the maxillo-facial region. To prevent amputation and increase survival rates by about five years, surgery is usually combined with other types of treatment. There are a...
2.3. Similarities and Differences between these Two Virally Associated HNCs in General Theoretically, the exposures to chemical or viral carcinogens are rather similar in these cancers as the nasopharynx and the oropharynx are anatomically connected [30]. Yet, EBV infects the nasopharynx, while HPV ...
