Squamous cell carcinoma of the neck is caused by damage to epithelial cells in organs such as the larynx and pharynx, often due to tobacco and alcohol consumption. Other risk factors include exposure to environmental irritants and certain types of HPV. Genetic factors also play a role. Treatment options include gene alteration, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, […]
HSIL is an abnormal growth of cells on the cervix found in a Pap smear, often linked to cervical cancer. LSIL indicates a small amount of abnormal cells, while HSIL indicates a large number of very abnormal cells covering much of the cervix. A doctor further examines HSIL by performing a colposcopy and biopsy. Follow-up […]
Squamous cell carcinoma is a common type of tongue cancer, with symptoms including sore throat, discolored spots, bleeding, and numbness.
