Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is the second most common form of skin cancer. In cases, non-invasive SCC has a good prognosis and curable by surgical resection. Nevertheless, small percentage patients pose specific management problems due to technical difficulty maintaining function aesthetics because size or location tumor. An emerging therapeutic approach with high-dose brachytherapy...

Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma is one of the most common non-melanoma skin cancers worldwide. While most cutaneous squamous cell carcinomas are easily managed, there is a high-risk subset of tumors that can cause severe morbidity and mortality. Tumor characteristics as well as patient characteristics contribute to the classification of cutaneous squamous cell carcinomas as low-risk vs. high-...

skin cancer has a broad and burdensome impact on the health and well-being of iranian and account for substantial health care costs to the nation. the first most common form of skin cancer is basal cell carcinoma (bcc); followed by the squamous cell carcinoma (scc) and the incidence of malignant melanoma (mm) is lower but is fatal. kaposi sarcoma (ks) is a tumor caused by human herpes virus 8. ...

background and objective: basal cell carcinoma (bcc) and squamous cell carcinoma (scc) are two common tumors of the skin. in some cases, distinction between bcc and scc can be difficult. this study aimed to clarify this uncertainty through immunohistochemical analysis. in this respect, epithelial membrane antigen (ema) and ber-ep4 are the two immunohistochemical markers on which we focus in dif...

purpose: to define the demographic and clinical features of eyelid masses at a referral hospital over a 10-year period. methods: this is a retrospective record-based study on patients with eyelid masses during the above-mentioned period. data on epidemiologic and clinical features and therapeutic approaches were collected and analyzed. results: 551 patients were included in the study from which...

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 authors quantified improvement in predicting cutaneous malignant melanoma, basal cell carcinoma, and squamous cell carcinoma of the skin made possible by information on common variants of the melanocortin-1 receptor gene (MC1R) in a 1998-1999 population-based case-control study of subjects aged 20-59 years of northern European ancestry in Tasmania, Australia. Melanin density at the upper in...

Background & Objective: Laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) is considered to be one of the most common cancers of the head and neck, accounting for roughly 90% of all malignant tumors of the larynx. To have a timely diagnosis for a better and practical therapy, molecular markers have to be investigated. The aim of this study was to determine the expression of Cyclin D1 (CD...

the association of squamous cell carcinoma of the larynx with thyroid papillary carcinoma is an unusual finding. from 2004 to 2011, approximately 250 patients underwent laryngectomies due to squamous cell carcinoma of the larynx at the otolaryngology department of khalili hospital, affiliated with shiraz university of medical sciences, shiraz, iran. in three patients, synchronous occurrence of ...
