Head and Neck SPOREs
SPOREs in Head and Neck (H&N) cancer support translational research
on cancers of the upper aerodigestive tract and on thyroid cancer. An
estimated 30,990 patients will be diagnosed for cancers of the oral cavity,
pharynx, or larynx in the year 2006. Another 30,180 patients will be diagnosed
with thyroid cancer. The incidence for the first group of cancers is 2
to 3 times higher in men compared to women, whereas thyroid cancer is
three times more common in women as in men. By estimates of the American
Cancer Society, 7,430 people will die of cancers of the oral cavity, pharynx,
or larynx and 1,500 of thyroid cancer in 2006. SPOREs in H&N Cancers
was established in the year 2001 with the result of three new SPOREs being
funded in the year 2002. The fourth H&N SPORE was funded in 2004.
