The impact of squamous cell carcinoma antigen (SCC) in the follow-up of patients with advanced cervical cancer treated with (chemo-) radiotherapy in primary and postoperative settings was evaluated. One hundred and forty-one patients with histologically proven squamous cell carcinoma of the uterine cervix were treated at the department of radiotherapy and radiation oncology. The serum level of ...

Proposed by Lee and Hirst, the phrase ocular surface squamous neoplasia (OSSN) includes the clinical continuum of mild, moderate, and severe dysplasia, carcinoma in situ, and invasive squamous cell carcinoma (SCC).[1] It is important to understand that dysplasia and carcinoma in situ, together constituting conjunctival intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN), are premalignant by definition, and SCC is ...

Lung squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) has always been considered a monomorphic entity, different from lung adenocarcinoma which is known to be a very heterogeneous tumor from morphological and molecular point of view. Just two histological subtypes of SCC are recognised, the basaloid and lymphoepithelioma-like histotypes, as in other sites different from the lung. Recently, different studies tried...

primary de novo intraosseous carcinoma is a rare neoplastic lesion which commonly occurs in the jaws. it is an epithelial odontogenic malignancy arising from odontogenic epithelial residues in the bone rather than from a preexisting epithelial lesion. in the present case report, the clinical, radiological and histological features of primary de novo intraosseous carcinoma are discussed and its ...

Introduction: Endostatin is a C-­terminal proteolytic fragment of collagen XVIII and, as with angiostatin and thrombospondin, is known as an anti­angiogenic agent. The aim of this study was to assess the level of serum endostatin in patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), and its association with the clinicopathological characteristics of the tumor.   Materials and Methods:  Using an ...

"Sarcomatoid carcinoma is a rare and aggressive form of squamous cell (SCC). It biphasic tumor that has been shown to be dedifferentiated monoclonal classic carcinoma. The factors contribute proliferation SCC sarcomatoid are not precisely known but some studies revealed the importance anterior radiation therapy. This case report describes 62-year-old man, heavy smoker alcohol drinker diagnosed ...

Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the buccal mucosa accounts for 23% to 37% of all intraoral cancers, the prognosis is generally poor. we reported a case of Local invasion of buccal squamous cell carcinoma. A 32-year-old man referred to the clinic with a chief complaint of swelling in the right cheek region that initiated from 6 months ago and rapidly grow from one month ago. History of the pati...

Laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is rare in children. Usually, laryngeal SCC in children has a poor prognosis. A 9-year-old boy is reported who was diagnosed as having poorly differentiated laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma with neck metastasis. This report aims to highlight the importance of a comprehensive knowledge of differential diagnosis, putting great attention to the onset of sym...

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 ...

BACKGROUND Breast metaplastic squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is a rare primary breast carcinoma, and overexpression of HER2 in this carcinoma is extremely uncommon. CASE REPORT We presented a case of a 48-year-old Asian female with breast metaplastic SCC. Fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) and core needle biopsy (CNB) of the lesion were taken prior to surgical resection. FNAB smears demonstrat...
