Immunohistochemical studies on tumor antigen-4 in squamous cell carcinoma of uterine cervix.

Involvement of Squamous Cell Carcinoma Antigen in Invasion and Metastasis of Squamous Cell Carcinoma of Uterine Cervix

Immunohistochemical Evaluation of Fascin in Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Background and purpose: Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is the eighth most common cancer in men and the fifteenth in women. Localized recurrence and metastasis to regional lymph nodes are major problems in these patients. Fascin is a 55- kDa protein from the family of actin-binding proteins that is expressed in cells with membranous bronchial tubes. The aim of this study was to evaluate the expre...

Verrucocus Carcinoma of Uterine Cervix

Verrucous carcinoma is a peculiar type of squamous cell carcinoma character­ized by a clinicopathological behavior.This neoplasm is grossly cauliflower, warty, or parachute in shape, slowly growing and pushing the adjucent tissue without a definite invasion. Rarely causing metastasis. This tumor is radio­resistant and the choice treatment is surgery. Histological features resemble the papilloma...

Coexistent squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma of the uterine cervix.

The clinical and pathological features of 20 patients with coexistent squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma of the uterine cervix have been analyzed. Various combinations of in situ and invasive carcinomas were found. Located adjacent to each other and at times intermingling, these lesions probably originated from the subcolumnar reserve cells of the transformation zone. They are early les...

Squamous cell carcinoma related antigen in uterine cervical carcinoma.

Squamous cell carcinoma-related antigen (SCC-Ag), first described by Kato and Torigoe in 1977, has been cited by various workers as a serological marker for some epithelial neoplasms. The most well-studied is its association with carcinoma of the uterine cervix. In January 1989, we embarked on a prospective, multivariate study at the University Hospital, Kuala Lumpur to assess the usefulness of...
