Endoscopic surgery for congenital basal meningoencephaloceles in children.

abstract：CONCLUSIONS:This study shows that heavy drinking is a risk factor for prolonged delay in presenting with head and neck cancer and for presenting with a large tumour in the head and neck region. Excessive smoking is only a risk factor for being diagnosed with a large tumour, although there is a weak association between ...
