چکیده
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to assess EGFR and p53 expression in head and neck tumors among Sudanese patients using immunohistochemistry. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective descriptive study was performed on 150 samples from patients diagnosed with HNCs as well as 50 from individuals with benign head and neck tumors. EGFR and p53 expression was assessed using immunohistochemistry (IHC). RESULTS EGFR was expressed in 126/150 (84%) of HNCS and 6/50 (12%) benign head and neck tumors where as p53 was expressed in 29/150 (19.3%) of HNCs and 2/50 (4%) of benign head and neck tumors, with significance at p values of 0.001 and 0.009 respectively. CONCLUSIONS There is a significant association between EGFR, P53 expression and head and neck cancers among Sudanese patients.

ABSTRACT Bladder cancer consists of about 5.2% of all cancers in men and 2.3% in women. About 90% of them have the origin of transitional cells(TCC). There are some predictive factors that knowledge of them is useful for management and follow-up of the patients. Expression of oncoprotein P53 is one of these factors. Considering influence of P53 expression on prognosis, we decided ...
متن کاملEpithelial-Mesenchymal Transition and Inflammation in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) represents a large majority of cancers arising from the head and neck, especially the oral cavity. Despite advances in therapy, the five-year survival rate remains low due to the number of patients presenting advanced stages of the disease. The role of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in tumorigenesis in HNSCC remains unexplored. The current ...

Background: Ewing sarcoma family tumors (ESFTs) are among the most malignant tumors in children and young adults. ESFTs include Ewing sarcoma (ES) and peripheral primitive neuroectodermal tumors (pPNETs). As there seemed to be few studies on the molecular biology of ESFTs, we investigated the frequency of CD99, Ki67, p53 and Fli- 1 protein expression in 15 Iranian patients with ESFTs. In addi...
