To evaluate the usefulness of CYFRA 21-1 and SCC Ag in the diagnosis of squamous cell carcinoma (SQC) of the lung, we tested sera from 124 patients with lung cancers (squamous cell ca 72, adenoca 22, large cell ca 4, small cell ca 18 and undetermined 8) and 78 patients with inflammatory lung diseases (bronchitis 24, bronchiectasis 29, tuberculosis 19 and others 6) using immunoradiometric assay ...

Introduction:Cancer is the second cause of death in the world and the third primary cause in Iran. In this study, we examined the epidemiology of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) as the most common malignancy of the oral cavity and its related factors in Yazd Province, Iran, from 2001 to 2011. Materials and methods: This descriptive study evaluated the medical records of patients with OSCC ...

Cancer of the urinary bladder is a commonly encountered malignancy tract. The most common histologic type Transitional cell carcinoma (TCC). It accounts for 90-95% all cancers. usually seen in sixth and seventh decades life. Men are affected three to four times more than women. remaining 5-10% tumors other types epithelial mesenchymal tumors. Squamous (SCC) very uncommon malignancy.

The most common malignancy to involve the oral cavity and oropharynx is squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). Because these oral cancers share an origin from the squamous epithelium, the pathology of oral SCC might be expected to be uniform and its diagnosis repetitive. In reality, the morphologic diversity in SCC, along with the propensity for reactive processes of the oral cavity to mimic SCC histol...

background and objective: basal cell carcinoma (bcc) and squamous cell carcinoma (scc) are two common tumors of the skin. in some cases, distinction between bcc and scc can be difficult. this study aimed to clarify this uncertainty through immunohistochemical analysis. in this respect, epithelial membrane antigen (ema) and ber-ep4 are the two immunohistochemical markers on which we focus in dif...

Background: In addition to the well-defined histological criteria for squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and basal cell carcinoma (BCC), immunohistochemical techniques can be used in difficult cases for their differentiation. As differential diagnosis between trichoepithelioma (TE) and BCC is sometimes difficult for the clinician and the pathologist, CD10 may be a useful marker for definite diagnosi...

Primary carcinomas of the small intestine are extremely rare neoplasms. Most of these are adenocarcinomas. Primary squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of small intestine is exceptionally rare with only occasional case reports in the literature. We report here a surgically treated patient with squamous cell carcinoma arising from duodenal diverticula in the third part of the duodenum.
