This book provides research-oriented care providers with up-to-date
information on the oral cancer patient population, the ways in
which we are treating them, and the scientific approaches being
pursued in order to improve survival and reduce treatment-related
morbidity. The text is organized into three sections covering
epidemiology and management, cancer development and biomarkers, and
breaking developments and novel approaches for drug discovery. The
first section includes discussion of the emerging role of HPV in
oral cancer and explains the surgical, chemotherapy and radiation
approaches to treatment. Aspects such as molecular progression, the
role of cancer stem cells in tumor development, and the value of
various biomarkers are then examined. The final section is devoted
to the latest advances and covers, among other topics, current
clinical trials, emerging drug targets, and targeting of the
unfolded protein response and of mediators of coagulation.
