The objective of this study was to explore salivary metabolite biomarkers by profiling both saliva and tumor tissue samples for oral cancer screening. Paired tumor and control tissues were obtained from oral cancer patients and whole unstimulated saliva samples were collected from patients and healthy controls. The comprehensive metabolomic analysis for profiling hydrophilic metabolites was con...

Pleomorphic adenoma is the most common salivary gland tumor. also known as benign mixed Most commonly affected site parotid gland. It may occur in other major glands (submandibular and sublingual glands), lacrimal minor glands. arises a painless, firm swelling, slowly growing oral cavity. triphasic tumor that occurs epithelial, myoepithelial, chondromyxoid stroma. Complete surgical resection wi...

Nitidine chloride (NC) is a natural alkaloid compound derived from the plant Zanthoxylum nitidum and is known for its therapeutic anticancer potential. In this study, we investigated the effects of NC on growth and signaling pathways in human oral cancer cell lines and a tumor xenograft model. The apoptotic effects and related molecular targets of NC on human oral cancer were investigated using...

conclusions prognosis of this type of tumor, apart from its size and differentiation level, depends on infiltration in tumor-surrounding tissue, perineural and perivascular spread. therefore, it is always necessary to analyze the removed skin especially on margins. introduction squamous cell carcinoma is the most common type of lip and oral cavity cancers. in majority of cases it follows quite ...

Metastatic tumors account for 1% of all oral malignancies. Metastasis to jaw bones is common, particularly in the mandible, rare in the oral soft tissues, and account for only 0.1% of oral malignancies. The majority of metastatic cases (70%) reported in the literature have primary tumors located in the lung, breast, kidney, and colon. Metastasis is a biological complex process that involves det...

We report the case of a 4-year-old female woodchuck (Marmota monax) which presented with a white, firm and discrete mass in the hard palate. The mass extended into the oral cavity but it was well separated from the surrounding tissues. Histology of the tumor showed a malignant mesenchymal tumor with pleomorphic spindle cells varying in degrees of differentiation and density. The neoplastic cell...

Cancer stem cells (CSCs) have been identified to exert tumor-initiating ability, resulting in the recurrence, metastasis and chemoresistance of oral squamous cell carcinomas. In the present study, we showed that GMI, an immunomodulatory protein from Ganoderma microsporum, induc ed a cytotoxic effect in oral carcinomas stem cells (OCSCs). Treatment of GMI dose-dependently inhibited the expressio...

Hepatocellular adenoma (HCA) is a rare and benign liver tumor that affects predominantly young middle-aged women, especially between 30–40 years old. Liver adenomatosis (LA) defined as the presence of 10 or more HCA. There are authors report eight different subtypes HCA, correlates with clinical histopathological features, being inflammatory subtype most common. We present case 32-year-old Cauc...

The purpose of this research was to identify a molecular clue to tumor proliferation in oral squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and to test the value as a predictive marker for prognosis. In cDNA array analysis, small ubiquitin-related modifier-1 (SUMO-1) was expressed at much higher levels in oral SCC tissue and oral SCC cell lines than normal oral epithelium. The result was confirmed by RT-PCR ana...
