Comparative Assessment of E-cadherin's Expression between the Metastatic and Non-metastatic Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma: An Immunohistochemical Study

ABSTRACT Objective: To identify the clinicopathological correlation of E-cadherin expression in metastatic and non-metastatic oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Material and Methods: A total of 90 paraffin-embedded tissue sections of OSCC were retrieved from the registry. The total selected samples w...

Influência da via hippo em carcinomas de células escamosas de língua oral
Influence of the hippo pathway on oral tongue squamous cell carcinomas

O carcinoma de células escamosas de língua oral (CCELO) apresenta altas taxas de morbidade e mortalidade. Apesar dos progressos alcançados nesta área, os pesquisadores continuam em busca de biomarcadores moleculares que tenham valor preditivo no prognóstico dos pacientes e que possibilitem o desenvo...

Pro-and Anti-inflammatory Biomarkers as Potential Prognosis Markers in Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma

ABSTRACT: The most widely used method to classify prognostic factors in cancers today is TNM. However, Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma (OSCC) often demonstrates different behaviors in relation to aggressiveness and therapeutic response at the same TNM stage. So, in such cases biomarkers can be used to ident...

Post-radiotherapy recurrence of conventional oral squamous cell carcinoma showing sarcomatoid components: an immunohistochemical study

Autops. Case Rep; 11 (), 2021
Spindle cell squamous cell carcinoma (SpSCC) is a rare biphasic malignant neoplasm, uncommonly affecting the oral cavity. The SpSCC diagnosis is difficult, especially when it exhibits inconspicuous morphology, inadequate tissue sampling, or association with an exuberant inflammatory reaction. Post-radiot...

Study of EGFR mutations in head and neck squamous cell carcinomas

Autops. Case Rep; 11 (), 2021
Introduction Squamous carcinoma is the commonest malignancy of the head and neck region. It is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) regulates downstream signaling pathways through its tyrosine kinase (TK) domains that play a role in cell proliferation and ...

ABSTRACT Objective: To determine the association of socio-demographic and clinic-pathological risk factors with oral cancer in Kelantan, Malaysia. Material and Methods: A 19-year cross-sectional survey was performed in Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia (HUSM), Malaysia. Medical record of 301 oral canc...

Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma Associated with Arsenic Exposure: A Case Series from Argentina

ABSTRACT: Many areas of South America are directly affected by Arsenic (As) contaminated groundwater. A high percentage of the water samples taken in multiple areas of Argentina had As concentrations above the WHO level recommended guidelines. This condition was previously associated with an increased ri...

Estudo imuno-histoquímico e in vitro de proteínas do sistema ativador de plasminogênio em carcinomas de células escamosas de língua oral

O carcinoma de células escamosas (CCE) é a neoplasia maligna mais frequente da cavidade oral e apresenta prognóstico desfavorável. Assim sendo, pesquisas têm buscado esclarecer o papel de biomarcadores no comportamento biológico do CCE oral. Nesta perspectiva, destacam-se o ativador de plasminogên...

Effect of ethanol extracts of Antrodia cinnamomea on head and neck squamous cell carcinoma cell line

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 53 (6), 2020
Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is one of the most common malignant tumors. Ethanol extract of Antrodia cinnamomea (EEA) has been widely studied for its health benefits including anticancer effects. The purpose of this study was to assess the effects of EEA on HNSCC. Cell proliferation, tra...
