1Ore-nese-halsavdelingen Ullevål sykehus, Oslo.
Abstract:
A review of prognostic factors in oral, pharyngeal and laryngeal carcinomas is presented. Distinctions are made between different kinds of prognostic predictors: external, host, and tumour predictors. The latter includes localization, stage, histological grading, DNA ploidy and biochemical characteristics. Finally, ideas on how best to utilize this knowledge and the implementation of any prophylactic measures are detailed.

01:21Cancer Survival Analysis
Cancer survival analysis focuses on quantifying and interpreting the time from a key starting point, such as diagnosis or the initiation of treatment, to a specific endpoint, such as remission or death. This analysis provides critical insights into treatment effectiveness and factors that influence patient outcomes, helping to shape clinical decisions and guide prognostic evaluations. A cornerstone of oncology research, survival analysis tackles the challenges of skewed, non-normally...
