introdouction: oral squamous cell carcinoma (oscc), the most common form of oral cancer, requires early diagnosis and suitable treatments. fascin is a protein involved in cell adhesion and is increased in expression in certain types of carcinomas. the present study was conducted to assess fascin expression in oscc using an immunohistochemical technique. materials and methods: in the present ret...

introduction : pulmonary adenosquamous carcinoma is an uncommon histological variety of bronchogenic carcinoma, and has histologic areas differentiated as both squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma and has clinical behavior more like that of adenocarcinoma. tumor stage is higher at the time of diagnosis, and survival is poorer. case presentation : we present a 65 years old woman with bulgi...

background: oral cancer is among the 10 most common cancers worldwide with an increasing global incidence. compromised antioxidant defense system plays a role in occurrence of cancer. this study evaluated the salivary antioxidant level of oral cancer patients compared to a control group. patients and methods: this case-control study was conducted on 22 oral squamous cell carcinoma patients pres...

conclusions according to the low prevalence of hcmv in oscc, it seems that this virus plays a minor role in this kind of cancer at least in southeast of iran. more comprehensive studies are needed to investigate the oncomodulatory effect of this virus on oscc. results the mean age of the patients (66.7% female and 33.3% male) was 58.6 years. only three cases (6.3%) of the grade i, oscc biopsies...

background:non-melanoma skin cancer (nmsc), the most prevalent types being squamous cell carcinoma (scc) and basal cell carcinoma (bcc), is the most common type of malignancy in human beings. these neoplasms are more frequent in the elderly and fair skinned people and mainly occur on sun-exposed sites of the body. ultraviolet b (uvb) has a well-known effect in induction and promotion of growth ...

abstract background and aim: oral cancer is one of the most common cancers of the head and neck. considering the high prevalence and mortality percentage of oral cancer and the significant advances in immunology and identification of different cytokines, the aim of the present study was to compare the concentration of il8 in saliva of patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma (oscc) and health...

squamous cell carcinoma, a cancer of keratinocytes origin, mostly involves sun-exposed areas of the skin. to study the pathologic and demographic features of this disease, records of 395 patients of squamous cell carcinoma of skin and lip were reviewed. most of the patients (83%) aged 40 years or more at the time of diagnosis. respectively, 74.4% and 75.8% of cases with skin and lower lip carci...

biomolecular behavior of tumor cells has become attractive to investigators. p53 as an oncosuppresor gene has been core of various studies and ki67 is a nuclear protein involved in proliferation process. stopping of onco-suppressor function theoretically allows proliferative system to get out of any control. in this case-control study we evaluated 50 patients with non small cell lung cancer, co...
