Verrucous carcinoma (VC) of oral cavity is a rare variant of well-differentiated squamous cell carcinoma and squamous papilloma is a benign proliferation of the stratified squamous epithelium, which results in a papillary or verrucous exophytic mass. There is a certain clinical similarity between squamous cell papilloma and VC. We presented a report of two cases which are VC and squamous cell p...

BACKGROUND The association between nodal ratio and survival has not been assessed in squamous cell carcinomas of the head and neck. METHODS This is a population-based analysis, using the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End-Results database, to determine whether nodal ratio impacts survival in patients with oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma. RESULTS Between 1988 and 2005, 2955 new diagnose...

In this study, the compounds having acrylophenone structure, 1-aryl-2-(N-methylpiperazinomethyl)-2-propen-1-one dihydrochlorides, were synthesized and their chemical structures were identified with (1)H NMR, (13)C NMR and HRMS spectra. The cytotoxicities of the compounds were tested towards Ca9-22 (human gingival carcinoma), HSC-2 (human oral squamous carcinoma), HSC-3 (human oral squamous carc...

The most common malignancy of the head and neck region is “oral squamous cell carcinoma” (OSCC) because its low survival rate increasing incidence in some geographic areas. The process invasion metastasis, which noted cancers, requires loss cell-to-cell attachment. It therefore important to identify a marker that would help identification lesions acquire ability transform into OSCC. Cell...

Verrucous carcinoma (VC) otherwise known Ackerman’s tumor is a distinct variety of epidermoid carcinoma with characteristic clinical presentation, behavior and histological features. It usually presents as a hyperplastic epithelium, abundant keratin superficially with a church-spire keratosis and also presenting parakeratin plugging which is characteristic of this VC. Oral squamous cell carcino...

Introduction: Squamous cell carcinoma of the oral cavity is one of the most important and common types of head and neck malignancy, with an estimated rate of 4% among all human malignancies. The aim of this study was to determine the association between expression of matrix metalloproteinase 2 and 9 and the clinicopathological features of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC).   Materials and Met...

OBJECTIVE To determine whether level IIb lymph nodes can be saved in elective supraomohyoid neck dissection (SOHND) as a treatment for patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the oral cavity. DESIGN Prospective analysis of a case series. SETTING University hospital. PATIENTS AND INTERVENTIONS From 1997 to 2001, 74 patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the oral cavity and with no palpa...

Carcinomas are the major serious health issue in today’s healthcare system. while its prognosis is difficult at earlier stages. OSSC oral squamous cell carcinomas reported more than 3 lakhs new cases world-wide and it sixth most common cancer world-wide. Squamous carcinoma defined as of soft, flat, thin cells mainly affect soft regions like tongue diagnosed by various investigational imaging bi...
