Researchincontext
The University of Liverpool is a research-intensive
university, and many of our academic staff are leading
researchers in their fields. What this means for you as
a student is that your learning will be informed by the
very latest developments in Dentistry.
Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma
(HNSCC) is the 6th most common malignancy
worldwide, with an incidence of 615,000 cases
per annum. The latest Cancer Research UK
data showed that the UK incidence of oral
and oropharyngeal squamous cell cancer
(OSCC and OPSCC) had risen by 24%
in the last decade (Figure 1 overleaf).
Merseyside and Cheshire has the highest
incidence of OSCC in England and Wales.
Academic members of staff in the School
of Dentistry are part of a wider Mersey Head
and Neck Oncology Group researching many
aspects of the biology and genomics of head
and neck cancer.
