interleukin-4 mrna expression in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma patients with or without lymph node involvement
Authors
abstract
background : interleukin (il)-4 is a member of t helper 2 (th2) axis produced by t-lymphocyte and mast cell. it has been shown that il-4 expression changes in tumor tissues. the main objective of this study is to investigate the expression of il-4 mrna in patients with laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (lscc) with or without lymph node involvement. materials and methods: mrna expression of il-4 in lscc tissues were detected by quantative real-time pcr (qrt-pcr). expression of il-4 gene was compared between lymph node positive and negative patients with squamous cell carcinoma of larynx. results: no statistically significant association was found in expression of il-4 between lymph node positive and negative patients. conclusion: it seems that il-4 has no important effect on the involvement of lymph node in lscc. however, to achieve a definite conclusion more investigations are certainly required.

DETERMINATION OF THE PREVALENCE OF OCCULT NECK LYMPH NODE INVOLVEMENT IN PATIENTS WITH LARYNGEAL SQUAMOUS CELL CARCINOMA
Background & Aims: Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) accounts for 85% of laryngeal cancers. In some cases, lymph nodes do not show any specific symptoms despite being involved by cancer. Previous studies showed that patients undergoing selective neck lymph node dissection (SND) had significantly lower recurrence rates. We investigated the prevalence of occult neck lymph node involvement in patients...

Background & Objective: Laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) is considered to be one of the most common cancers of the head and neck, accounting for roughly 90% of all malignant tumors of the larynx. To have a timely diagnosis for a better and practical therapy, molecular markers have to be investigated. The aim of this study was to determine the expression of Cyclin D1 (CD...

Background and Objective: Oral cancer accounts for less than 3% of all cancers. Despite recent improvement in diagnostic and treatment methods, the overall survival of the disease is unfavorable. Several studies have been performed to assess factors influencing lymph node metastasis and prognosis. The aim of this study was to evaluate some clinical and pathological factors influencing lymph ...

BACKGROUND Lymph node metastasis has a significant impact on laryngeal cancer prognosis. The role of lymph node ratio (LNR, ratio of metastatic to examined nodes) in the staging of laryngeal cancer was not reported. PATIENTS AND METHODS Records of laryngeal cancer patients with lymph node involvement from Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database (SEER, training set, N = 1963) and ...
