Squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (HNSCC) is a relatively common human cancer characterized by high morbidity, high mortality, and few therapeutic options outside of surgery, standard cytotoxic chemotherapy, and radiation. Although the most important risk factors are tobacco use and alcohol consumption, the disease is also linked to infection with high-risk types of human papilloma viruses (HPVs). Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the buccal mucosa is a common malignant tumor in the Chinese mainland, Taiwan and India. Risk factors associated with SCC include betel quid chewing, tobacco and alcohol consumption.

Abstract


Squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (HNSCC) is a relatively common human cancer characterized by high morbidity, high mortality, and few therapeutic options outside of surgery, standard cytotoxic chemotherapy, and radiation. Although the most important risk factors are tobacco use and alcohol consumption, the disease is also linked to infection with high-risk types of human papilloma viruses (HPVs). Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the buccal mucosa is a common malignant tumor in the Chinese mainland, Taiwan and India. Risk factors associated with SCC include betel quid chewing, tobacco and alcohol consumption.
