The incidence and mortality from cancer have been continuously increasing in the world and also in the state of São Paulo, whose incidence rates are among the highest in the country and the disease is the second leading cause of death. This is the enormous challenge that we are trying to help face here. The research team made up of leading researchers in epidemiology and oncologic patholo…
Head and neck cancer (HNC) includes tumors of the mouth, oropharynx, hypopharynx and larynx. The use of tobacco and alcohol are the main risk factors associated with HNC, however other risk factors have also been considered such as diet, occupational agents, oral hygiene and HPV infection. Several studies have found that patients with Diabetes Mellitus (DM) have excess of risk and worse p…

Cancer screening consists of the early detection of precancerous lesions in an asymptomatic population and aims to reduce mortality from the disease. Screening programs can be organized or opportunistic. The first model is characterized by centralized actions to call the target population of defined age groups, systematic recall strategies, diagnostic investigation, treatment and follow-u…

The incidence and mortality of Head and Neck Cancer (HNC) among young adults (less than 46 years old) increased during the last decades. Some authors argue that HNC etiology may differ for young adults and older patients. The study of HNC risk factors for young adults may contribute to the etiological knowledge of the disease. This study aimed at assessing the contribution of behavioral e…

Approximately 82% of the total number of deaths reported annually from cervical cancer (CC) occur in low- middle- and upper- middle- income countries. In Brazil, recent mortality rates from CC indicated a stabilized trend after more than two decades of declines. São Paulo is the first Brazilian state to show a reversal trend in CC mortality, especially in women aged 25-39 years. These rec…
This project of Research Internships Abroad (BEPE) is linked to the PhD project "Diabetes Mellitus and the Head and Neck Cancer" with a grant from FAPESP (2013/21702-3) and Regular FAPESP (2013/20548-0). The PhD project aims to evaluate the association of diabetes mellitus and cancer of the head and neck. Worldwide, few studies have investigated the association of diabetes mellitus (DM) a…
