Letter to the Editor: Prognostic value of age-adjusted comorbidity scoring in OSCC - a step toward personalized

Abstract:
The recent study by Liu et al. provides a valuable comparative analysis of three comorbidity indices of CCI, ACE-27, and ACCI, offering compelling evidence for the superior prognostic utility of the Age-Adjusted Charlson Comorbidity Index (ACCI) in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Their findings underline the importance of incorporating age-weighted comorbidity assessments into routine cancer care and serve as a strong foundation for further refinement of prognostic tools in head and neck oncology. This commentary highlights the significance of the study and suggests future directions for enhancing risk stratification in OSCC management.

Combination Therapies and Personalized Medicine
The combination of the drug acetazolamide and sulforaphane is a good example of combination therapy to treat cancer. The cells in the interior of a large tumor often die due to the hypoxic and...
Tumor Progression
Colon cancer is one of the best-documented examples of tumor progression. Early mutation in the APC gene in colon cells causes a small growth on the colon wall called a polyp. With time, this polyp grows into a benign, pre-cancerous tumor. Further...
