    Abstract : Introduction: In 2012, approximately 15 % of human cancer cases were attributable to infectious agents worldwide. Fibropapillomatosis is a marine turtle disease characterized by growth of tumors on the shell, skin, eyes, oral cavity and/or viscera of the animals. READ MORE

  3. 2. Salivary flow rate and xerostomia in patients with head and neck cancer after radiation therapy

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Tandläkarutbildning

    Author : Alexander Hanna; Andrea Capraru; [2022]
    Keywords : Salivary flow rate; head and neck cancer; xerostomia; hyposalivation;

    Abstract : Background: Radiation therapy used for head and neck cancer patients cause many side effects in the oral cavity and above all affects the salivary glands. Complaint of dry mouth (xerostomia) and hyposalivation are common as well as swallowing difficulty (dysphagia) even after the cancer is remitted. READ MORE

  4. 3. Deep Learning for Whole Slide Image Cytology : A Human-in-the-Loop Approach
