Henry Ford Hospital study has identified 231 new genes associated with head and neck cancer
Henry Ford Hospital study has identified 231 new genes associated with head and neck cancer, one of the most deadly cancers responsible for 2.1 percent of all cancer deaths in the United States.
Results from the study were presented Sunday, Oct. 4 at the American Academy of Otolaryngology - Head & Neck Surgery Foundation Annual Meeting & OTO EXPO in San Diego.
Previously, only 33 genes were reported associated with head and neck cancer.
This identification of the new genes would ultimately aid in future diagnosis and treatment of head and neck cancer.
