Eloiza H. Tajara obtained her bachelor in Biological Sciences (1969) and PhD degree in Genetics (1980) at the University of São Paulo. She did her postdoctoral studies at the Southwest Biomedical Research Institute (AZ, USA) and was a fellow of the Union Internationale Contre le Cancer (UICC) in the Eleanor Roosevelt Institute for Cancer Research (CO, USA) in 1994, and in the University of Chicago (USA) in 1997. She is currently Associate Professor at the School of Medicine of São José do Rio Preto, SP, and coordinator of GENCAPO (Head and Neck Genome Project), a consortium of research groups from universities and hospitals in the State of São Paulo, in collaboration with researchers from the Federal University of Espírito Santo and the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC, Lyon, France), whose goal is to develop clinical, epidemiological and molecular analysis of head and neck cancer. She has experience in Genetics and Molecular Biology, with emphasis on cancer. Her scientific papers were cited 5.998 times. H index = 42. i10 index = 92 (Google Scholar)..

Head and neck squamous cell carcinomas of the head and neck (HNSCC) comprise one of the best examples of neoplasms that occur in a context of inflammation caused by infections or other etiological agents, such as tobacco and alcohol. HNSCCs associated with human papillomavirus (HPV) infection have a better prognosis than HPV negative HNSCCs, probably because the latter have high genomic i…
Squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (HNSCC) is the sixth most common type of cancer and most cases are diagnosed in advanced stages, limiting the chances of cure despite therapeutic options.There is ample evidence that the initiation and progression of cancer depend not only on genetic characteristics but also on various components of the tumor microenvironment, including inflamm…

Chemotherapeutic drugs are used to prevent the growth and spread of cancer cells. However, they induce an extreme selective pressure that may result in the selection of resistant subclones. Drug resistance is the biggest problem in cancer therapy today. However, resistance to one drug may come at a cost of increased sensitivity to another drug. This evolutionary process, named collateral …
Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is one of the most common cancers and its main risk factors are smoking, alcohol consumption and human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. Five-year survival rate remains low despite research efforts and progress in detection and therapy strategies. HPV-positive cases, which are more frequently seen in young non-smoker/non-alcoholic patients, exhi…
Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HNSCC) is one of the most common types of neoplasms of oral cavity, pharynx and larynx and its main etiological factors are smoking, alcohol consumption and Human Papillomavirus (HPV) infection. The metabolic profile of HNSCC is heterogeneous and related to mutations in several tumor suppressor genes and oncogenes. Altered metabolic patterns include …

HNSCC is the sixth most common type of cancer in the world and affects anatomic regions, which include the oral cavity, pharynx and larynx. Its main etiological factors are smoking, alcohol consumption and human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. The metabolic profile of HNSCCs is heterogeneous and related to mutations in several tumor suppressor genes and oncogenes. Altered metabolic patter…
