Background & Objective: This study aimed to examine the extent which postcoital bleeding (PCB) can be a predictive factor for cervical cancer. Materials Methods: In this observational we selected and evaluated 280 females with PCB referred Kowsar Hospital of Qazvin, Iran from 2017 2019. Results: Among 189 patients diagnosed as normal in their Pap smear results, one patient had cancer her b...

Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is the second most common type of skin cancer after basal cell carcinoma (BCC). The overall prevalence of BCC is 3 times higher than that of SCC, but this can vary when looking at specific locations such as the hand, where SCC is much more common than BCC. Carcinoma (or epithelioma) cuniculatum is a rare variant of SCC. It was originally described as a verrucous ca...

Heavy smokers with central type squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) frequently have multiple cancerous lesions in the bronchus. Autofluorescence bronchoscopy (AFB) is useful in the detection of early bronchogenic cancer and dysplastic lesions. We investigated the loss of heterozygosity (LOH) and microsatellite instability (MSI) and expression of four proteins in 13 early stage SCC (early SCC) and 9 s...

Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is by far the most common malignancy of the upper aerodigestive tract. Most conventional-type SCCs do not present the surgical pathologist with diagnostic difficulty. Certain variants, however, can histologically mimic benign and other malignant diseases. In such cases, correct diagnosis is important for prognostic and therapeutic reasons. This article discusses th...

Background: Gallbladder cancer is the most common malignant tumor of biliary tract. The majority cases are adenocarcinoma (AC). Pure squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) gallbladder accounts only 3% neoplasm this organ.
 Methods: medical records all patients who underwent cholecystectomy and specimen sent to Pathology Department Sardar Patel Medical College, Bikaner, in last five years were retro...

Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) is the second most common human cancer with over 250,000 new cases annually in the US and is second in incidence only to basal cell carcinoma. cSCC typically manifests as a spectrum of progressively advanced malignancies, ranging from a precursor actinic keratosis (AK) to squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) in situ (SCCIS), invasive cSCC, and finally metastati...

The incidence of skin cancers is low in India when compared to the western world. Malignant transformation discoid lupus erythematosus (DLE) a rare entity. Most common site head and neck. Our case reported disseminated DLE with malignant squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) lesion over arm axillary node involvement. We proceeded wide local excision dissection.

zinc has an important role in skin health and its deficiency reduces immunity. to evaluate levels of zinc in squamous cell carcinoma (scc) and basal cell carcinoma (bcc) of skin, we studied 44 bcc and 38 scc cases together with 33 controls. blood samples were taken and after separation of serum, levels of zinc, albumin and total protein were measured by atomic absorption, albumin kit and reflec...
