Abstract
Head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCCs) originate from the mucosal epithelium in the oral cavity, pharynx and larynx, and are caused by viral infection or carcinogen exposure. This PrimeView provides an overview of HNSCC diagnosis, epidemiology, pathogenesis and treatment as well as patient quality of life.
