Are mitochondrial mutations a late event in the progression of head and neck squamous cell cancer?
The majority of mitochondrial mutations occur during or after the transition of preneoplastic epithelium to cancer in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, indicating that these are a late event in head and neck carcinogenesis.
The prediction model shows acceptable diagnostic accuracy for a high likelihood of SAS. Therefore, we conclude that the prediction model can serve as a reasonable first screening method in a stepped diagnostic approach to SAS in stroke rehabilitation.
