[Conformal radiotherapy in nasopharyngeal cancer patients].

The paper is aimed at the determination of the efficiency of various technologies of conformal radiotherapy for patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma. The study included 56 patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the nasopharynx treated with conformal radiotherapy. 3D-CRT was performed for 28 patients, IMRT--22 patients, RapidArc--6 patients.

[Study of testicular cancer gene expression in samples of oral leukoplakia and squamous cell carcinoma of the mouth].

Cancer-testis (CT) antigens are normally expressed mostly in human germ cells, there is also an aberrant expression in some tumor cells. This expression profile makes them potential tumor growth biomarkers and a promising target for tumor immunotherapy. Specificity of CT genes expression in oral malignant and potentially malignant diseases, e.

[Docetaxel as a component in the combined therapy of locally advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the glottis and oral cavity].

Two modalities of chemoradiotherapy for locally advanced squamous cell cancer of oro-hypopharynx and oral cavity were compared in the treatment of 34 patients. Five-year survival after cisplatin, 5-FU, taxotere, and carboplatin plus irradiation with TTD of 68-72 Gy (group 1) was 59.5% versus 13.
