Culturing of Human Nasal Epithelial Cells at the Air Liquid Interface

Abstract:
Ninety-five females with squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck are reported. Tobacco and alcohol habits were present in only 18% of patients; in these cases tumoral behavior and prognosis are quite similar to those of male patients. When no particular epidemiology was found, female patients present special tumoral localizations as gum, cheek or palate. In addition these patients are elderly, mean age above 75 years. Radiotherapeutic management of female patients allow the same results than in treating males; consequently, since female patients are more elderly than males, these therapeutic results advocate aggressive therapy even in female patients above 80 years old.
