Oral
Cancer-Confronting the Enemy
Health professionals and patients can
now look forward to confronting cancer
on the molecular level -- where it originates
-- instead of waiting to deal with its
aftermath. It may one day be possible
to detect the disease at its earliest
stage using biomarkers found in blood
and saliva; develop better tests for
tracking the progression of cancer;
and design therapies based on fixing
or replacing mutated genes. This article
describes the ongoing efforts and some
findings, related to oral and pharyngeal
cancer, of the National Cancer Institute
and Oral Cancer Research. |
