International Cancer of the Head and Neck, Genetics and Environment (InterCHANGE) Study (InterCHANGE)
October 29, 2013 updated by: National Taiwan University Hospital
Our overall objective is to understand the role of lifestyle factors, genetics and HPV infection in the development and prognosis of head and neck cancer particularly in Asia.
