Squamous cell carcinoma is the most common head and neck cancer. This review describes the state-of-the-art computerised tomography and magnetic resonance imaging protocols of the neck and the normal larynx anatomy, and provides a practical approach for the diagnosis and staging of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma.

In a systematic effort to identify a potent antiproliferative agent, four complexes of vanadium containing maltol and deferiprone ligands were synthesized and evaluated for their cytotoxic activity against five human and animal cancer cell lines, including human breast cancer cells (MCF-7), human cervix epithelial carcinoma (HeLa), human colon cancer cell line (HT-29), human leukemia cell line ...

BMI1 is highly expressed in several malignant tumors, and its expression level is associated with tumor progression, proliferation, and prognosis. However, no published studies have examined the role of BMI1 in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). Expression of BMI1 in primary tumors was analyzed by immunofluorescence staining, real-time PCR, and Western blotting. BMI1 was knocked down, and...

Two acyl phloroglucinol compounds namely; Sideroxylonal B (1) and Macrocarpal A (2) were isolated from the Sideroxylonal-Rich Extract (SRE) of the juvenile leaves of Eucalyptus cinerea; F. Muell. ex Benth cultivated in Egypt. Identification of the isolated compounds was established on the basis of physico-chemical properties and spectral analysis (1D & 2D NMR). The two compounds were isolated f...

background & objectives:  cd10 is a cell surface enzyme with metalloendopeptidase activity, also known as common acute lymphoblastic leukaemia antigen, which mainly serves as a marker for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (all). to date and to the best of our knowledge, only few comparative immunohistochemical studies have assessed cd10 expression in cutaneous epithelial neoplasms. our goal was ...

Primary small cell carcinoma of larynx is a rare tumor representing less than 0.5% of all laryngeal cancers. This is one of the most lethal of all malignancies associated with frequent early widespread metastases and dismal prognosis. We report a case of a 60-year-old patient with small cell carcinoma of the subglottic larynx, who presented with hepatic metastasis.

background: prostate cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer deaths among men. new gene expressed in prostate (ngep), is a prostate-specific gene expressed only in normal prostate and prostate cancer tissue. because of its selective expression in prostate cancer cell surface, ngep is a potential immunotherapeutic target. to target the ngep in prostate cancer, it is essential to investigat...

INTRODUCTION Sentinel node mapping has been used for laryngeal carcinoma in several studies, with excellent results thus far. In the current study, we report our preliminary results on sentinel node mapping in laryngeal carcinoma using intra-operative peri-tumoral injection of a radiotracer. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients with biopsy-proven squamous cell carcinoma of the larynx were included ...

Background: This systematic literature review and meta-analysis investigated whether the red blood cell distribution (RDW) may predict survival outcomes in laryngeal cancer patients undergoing curative treatment.
 Methods: We conducted an electronic search Medline Scopus using keywords “red width” OR “RDW” AND “laryngeal cancer” “larynx carcinoma” carcinoma,” without time or language restr...
