- Title
Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Upper Aerodigestive Tract: Precursors and Problematic Variants.
- Authors
Wenig, Bruce M.
- Abstract
The article presents information on precursors and problematic variants of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the upper aerodigestive tract. This article will focus on the squamous epithelial alterations of the upper aerodigestive tract (UADT), including premalignant lesions and SCC. The article also includes a brief discussion on genetic aspects of head and neck SCC (HNSCC), specifically directed at the concept of field cancerization and clonality of multifocal SCC, as well as etiologic agents associated with HNSCC. Finally, emerging diagnostic and prognostic modalities that are currently being used for HNSCC are presented.
