   Esophageal squamous-cell carcinomas may occur as second primary tumors associated with head and neck cancer, due to field cancerization (i.e. a regional reaction to long-term carcinogenic exposure). [20] [21] A field defect associated with progression towards squamous cell carcinoma can be identified with epigenetic markers. [22]

It is a method of describing prognosis in certain disease conditions, and can be used for the assessment of standards of therapy. The survival period is usually reckoned from date of ...

7. Cell survival curve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_survival_curve

   The cell survival curve refers to specific quantities of radiation that affect a cell's ability to reproduce. Very high amounts of radiation (10,000 rads or 100 Gy) can cause complete abatement of cellular function (cell death).
