15. Trends in upper aerodigestive tract cancer based on 18 cancer registries database worldwide. 1969-1999 / Tendências de incidência do câncer das vias aéreas e digestivas superiores segundo 18 registros de câncer de base populacional com destaque ao município de São Paulo. 1969-1999
Introduction: Upper Aerodigestive Tract Cancer comprises a group of neoplasms which spread over many anatomic regions. Considering most of the locations, the worst risk coefficients are tobacco and alcohol. Taken the coefficients are known, prevention and precocious detection campaigns are expected to lessen the incidence statistics. Objectives. To estimate

17. Eficacia do exame clinico e tomografia computadorizada na detecção de metastases linfonodais e da linfocintilografia na avaliação da drenagem linfatica em carcinoma espinocelular de boca e orofaringe
Clinical examination alone is not enough to establish the true extenuation of local involvement and regional metastases in oral and oropharyngeal carcinomas. The objectives of this work were to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of computed tomography (CT) to determine regional metastases, and to verify the migration of 99mTc-Dextran by Iymphoscintigra

19. Candida glabrata Oropharyngeal Candidiasis in Patients Receiving Radiation Treatment for Head and Neck Cancer
Candida glabrata colonization is common in patients receiving radiation treatment for head and neck cancer, but to our knowledge has never been described as the infecting organism with oropharyngeal candidiasis (OPC). This study presents the first three patients described with C. glabrata OPC in this patient population. Patient 1 developed C. glabrata OPC an

21. Multiple Patterns of Resistance to Fluconazole in Candida glabrata Isolates from a Patient with Oropharyngeal Candidiasis Receiving Head and Neck Radiation
Candida glabrata has emerged in recent years as a significant cause of systemic fungal infection. We have previously reported on the first three patients receiving radiation for head and neck cancer to develop oropharyngeal candidiasis due to C. glabrata. The goal of this study was to track the development of increased fluconazole resistance in C. glabrata i

22. Epidemiologic study of a leukocyte-transforming agent in a general population.
Studies by others have demonstrated a leukocyte-transforming agent(s) (LTA) in the oropharyngeal secretions of a significant number of individuals with Epstein-Barr virus-associated infectious mononucleosis, cancer, and, to a lesser extent, an outpatient population. This present study determines by systematic sampling the prevalence of LTA in 27 families of

23. Epidemiology of Oropharyngeal Candida Colonization and Infection in Patients Receiving Radiation for Head and Neck Cancer
Oral mucosal colonization and infection with Candida are common in patients receiving radiation therapy for head and neck cancer. Infection is marked by oral pain and/or burning and can lead to significant patient morbidity. The purpose of this study was to identify Candida strain diversity in this population by using a chromogenic medium, subculturing, mole

24. Development of resistance in candida isolates from patients receiving prolonged antifungal therapy.
The impact of prolonged antifungal therapy on the development of resistance was examined in 61 patients with oropharyngeal thrush. Fifty-nine patients had symptomatic human immunodeficiency virus infection, one had lung cancer, and one had metastatic prostate cancer. Cultures of pharyngeal samples from all patients were positive for yeasts and included 57 (9
