Background: Although systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) correlates with patient survival in various solid malignancies limited information is available the setting of oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma (OCSCC).

Introduction: Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is the most common head and neck malignancy. Smoking, alcohol consumption, viral infections, exposure, oral hygiene, and dietary, genetic, and occupational factors are the most important etiologic factors. The aim of this study was determining the incidence of etiologic factors in head and neck SCC.  Materials and Methods: This is a cross-sectiona...

.. Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate clinico-pathological parameters and the status of argyrophilic nucleolar organizer regions stain in various histological grades of oral squamous cell carcinoma. Materials and Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted on fifty cases of oral squamous cell carcinoma. The specimen were collected from the department of Oral & Maxillofacial Su...

background and objective: cutaneous cytology is the study of scraping or smears obtained from skin lesions. although not commonly employed, cutaneous cytology has been a useful tool for clinicians due to simplified procedures and high sensitivity and specificity of presurgical clinical diagnosis of common types of skin tumors. this investigation was conducted to study usefulness of cutaneous cy...

BACKGROUND AND AIM: Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a chronic, autoimmune, inflammatory disease. The progression of OLP to oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) has generated a longstanding controversy about the details of this malignant transformation potential. This study aimed to do a systematic review on the molecular markers related to the malignant transformation of OLP.METHODS: We searched the...

background: invasive squamous cell carcinoma of the vulva is primarily a disease of postmenopausal women and thus is rarely associated with pregnancy. case: we have reported on a young woman under 40 years old with vulvar carcinoma, which occurred during the pregnancy but optimal treatment was delayed to the postpartum period. this 37-year-old woman was diagnosed with 3x3 cm vulvar lesion, 2 we...

background and objectives: squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue (sccot) is the most common malignant neoplasm in oral cavity. at the time of the diagnosis of sccot regional metastases with a high mortality rate are common, which is due to the extensive lymphatic system drainage of the tongue. although the level of healthcare has significantly improved, the survival rate is still low with an un...

BACKGROUND Resistance to anticancer agents is a major obstacle for successful chemotherapy in tongue squamous cancer. Sam68 is an oncogenic-related protein in oral tongue squamous cell carcinoma functions as a signaling molecule mediating apoptosis, whose over-expression is associated with the clinicopathologic characteristics and prognosis of patients. The present study was to examine the effe...

Background: Oral squamous cell carcinoma is a major cause of cancer-related deaths world-wide. Histologically it arises from the benign squamous epithelium lining the oral cavity and is conventionally divided into well, moderate, and poorly differentiated subtypes. Nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase catalyses the rate-limiting step of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide synthesis and is highl...
