Table 3.

The outcomes of death receptor studies are summarized based on high expression of the markers in question. Oral Cavity (OC), Oropharynx (OP), Hypopharynx (HP), Larynx (L), Lip (Lip), Tongue (T). Overall survival (OS), Disease-free survival (DFS), Progression-free survival (PFS), Distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS), Disease-specific survival (DSS), Local recurrence (LR), Local-regional control (LRC).
