Abstract:
Changes in the immune response have been implicated in the progression of squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (HNSCC). Evidence is emerging that processes within the tumour microenvironment can lead to immune modulation and subsequent tumour growth or metastasis. The hypothesis of this thesis is that the HNSCC tumour microenvironment will have increased levels of cytokines that produce an overall negative effect on the cellular cytotoxic immune response against the malignant cells. Specifically, it is hypothesised that a Th-2-like anti-inflammatory response will favour tumour cell pro

Abstract:
Metastasis in head and neck cancer patients is responsible for over 50% of deaths. There are currently no tools to identify patients at risk of developing metastasis. Circulating tumour cells (CTC) represent a transient cancer cell population in the blood. In this study, the researcher has developed CTC isolation methodologies and used novel culture formulations to expand patient derived CTCs for therapy testing. Furthermore, the researcher identified biomarkers present on CTCs which could select patients for immunotherapies, a current unmet need. This work sets the foundation for a personaliz

Abstract:
Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is the 6th most common cancer worldwide and poses a significant health burden due to its rising incidence. The proto-oncogene PTTG is overexpressed in HNSCC and correlates with poor patient prognosis. A recent unpublished GEO profile eDNA array analysis has further suggested a potential upregulation of its binding partner PBF in HNSCC. PTTG and PBF cause transformation in vitro and tumour formation in vivo, both effects thought to be partly mediated by their interactions with the tumour suppressor protein p53. Dysregulation of the p53 pathway is fr

Survival outcomes for traditional Human papillomavirus (HPV)-negative squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN) have not improved significantly over the last 20-30 years. In contrast, HPV-positive oropharyngeal SCC is associated with favourable survival outcomes, but patients often suffer long-term functional ramifications from the toxicity of their treatment. Therefore, in the context of HPV-negative SCCHN there is a need to improve treatment efficacy to enhance survival outcomes, while for HPVpositive oropharyngeal SCC there is a need to minimise treatment-associated toxicity.

Abstract:
Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HNSCC) presents particular challenges to both the researcher and the clinician. Encompassing a group of tumours with distinct epidemiological and oncological behaviour, each sub site differs greatly in its management and prognosis. However, due to insufficient tissue quantities and culture techniques, research studies commonly group together different sub sites, limiting our understanding of the biological behaviour and treatment response of tumours from distinct sites.

Abstract:
Metastases are considered the last stage of tumour progression and the main cause of death associated to solid tumours. There are no effective treatments for metastasis which remain non- curable with more than 90% of patients dying from metastatic disease. They derive from disseminated tumour cells (DTCs) that can remain occult in a dormant state while adapting to the new microenvironment. By mechanisms that are still unclear, dormant DTCs can re-activate and become proliferative giving rise to metastatic outgrowth. Therefore, understanding the mechanisms by which metastases are formed is esse

Radiotherapy is commonly used in the treatment of head and neck cancer. For early stage tumours, conventional radiotherapy techniques have a high cure rate and low levels of long-term complications. Patients with more advanced cancers have much lower cure rates and high levels of treatment-related complications. Intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) is a new form of focussed radiation therapy. It has been used to reduce the radiation dose to normal tissue structures and increase the dose delivered to tumour bearing tissues.

Fusion of segmentation proposals from multiple atlases has the potential to provide a better segmentation due to a more complete representation of the anatomical variation.

The effect of inhibiting telomerase expression is examined using a dominant negative telomerase gene. This approach had little

Abstract:
The primary focus of this research is the mechanisms of cell death in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) treatment. These cancers typically originate in squamous cells that line the moist mucosal surfaces of head and neck. HNSCC is commonly treated with a platinum based agent, cisplatin. While the drug does offer strong antitumor effects, its prolonged use often results in tumor-acquired resistance, which limits treatment effectiveness. We have shown that cisplatin treatment induces the expression of a pro-apoptotic BCL-2 family member Noxa, which then initiates caspase- dependent a

Abstract:
Canine oncology has recently reported interest in the detection of occult nodal metastases, and efforts have been made to identify the best strategy for accurate nodal staging. In this scenario, the present PhD thesis was aimed to improve knowledge on the current understanding of the feasibility and impact of sentinel lymph node (SLN) mapping with radiopharmaceutical and blue dye in cancer-bearing dogs. Initially, we evaluated the technique in canine mast cell tumors (MCT), given the high prevalence of this tumor type, the propensity for lymphatic spread and recognized prognostic impact of nod
