Cáncer de cabeza y cuello. Factores pronósticos.Abstract
Head and neck cancers include the carcinomas of the oral cavity, pharynx, larynx, and the less frequent tumours of the nasal cavity, paranasal sinuses and salivary glands. There is a high incidence in our country, where they represent from 10 to 15% of all new cancers in males. In spite of the relatively good prognosis of patients with early cancer, the prognosis is much worse for advanced tumours. At present, the principal prognostic factors in cancer of the head and neck are the clinical factors (T and N), although the importance of molecular factors is increasing and they will probably be the determining factors for prognosis and treatment of these tumours in the immediate future.Downloads
