Subglottic stenosis information
Subglottic stenosis information The larynx or the voice box is at cross roads of the wind pipe and food pipe. The larynx consists of the vocal cords which allow vocalisation and also protect the lungs during feeding. The subglottis is located just below the vocal cords. The vocal cords represent the

Immunotherapy in human head and neck cancer
Immunotherapy in human head and neck cancer Progress in understanding the immune system and its functions has put emphasis on possible impaired immunological surveillance as one reason for tumorigenesis and progression. As thus, immune surveillance plays a significant role in the control of human ca

Research
Head and neck cancer is a heterogeneous and mutilating disease demanding improvement of currently available treatment strategies due to high rate of treatment failures. Clinical evidence has emerged that head and neck cancer recurrence after the initial therapy depends greatly on an invasive phenoty

Laryngotracheal cleft information
Laryngotracheal cleft information The development of the larynx (voice box) and its separation from the esophagus (food pipe) is a complex process. When the larynx develops normally, it is completely separate from the esophagus, so swallowed foods go directly into the stomach. Laryngeal cleft is a r
