DESCRIPTION:Co-authors: Kevin Leder		(University of Minnesota)\, Marc Ryse
 r		(Duke University)\, Walter Lee		(Duke University) <span><br><span><br>T
 he accumulation and spatial spread of mutations during carcinogenesis lead
 s to the production of premalignant &#39\;fields&#39\; in many epithelial 
 cancers.  I will discuss a spatial stochastic model of this process\, base
 d on the biased voter model\, and analysis of the extent and geometry of t
 hese fields.  We apply this model to head and neck squamous cell carcinoma
  and use it to understand population-level incidence and recurrence patter
