Endobronchial metastases from extrapulmonary neoplasms are rare events and there is no report on the metastasis originating from esophageal cancer. Basaloid squamous carcinoma of the esophagus is a rare histologic type, which is known as biologically aggressive phenotype. We describe a rare case of metachronous endotracheal metastasis originating from esophageal basaloid squamous carcinoma. A 7...

Barrett's esophagus is the metaplastic change of the squamous epithelium lining the distal esophagus into an intestinalized columnar epithelium that predisposes to esophageal adenocarcinoma development. The cell that gives rise to Barrett's esophagus has not been identified definitively, although several sources for the Barrett's esophagus cell of origin have been postulated. One possible sourc...

Previous studies have revealed that patients with oral or esophageal cancer are at higher risk for subsequently developing a second primary malignancy. However, it remains to be determined what association exists between oral cancer and esophageal cancer particularly in Asian countries where squamous cell carcinoma is the predominant type of esophageal cancer. A population-based study was carri...

The two main histological esophageal cancer types, adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma, differ in incidence, geographic distribution, ethnic pattern and etiology. This article focuses on epidemiology with particular reference to geographic and temporal variations in incidence, along with a review of the evidence supporting environmental and genetic factors involved in esophageal carcinog...

esophageal cancer is a lethal disease with poor survival rate. it is necessary to determine the extension, and the stage of the tumor to predict the outcome of patients. of the two common pathologic types, squamous cell carcinoma is still the most common form, and adenocarcinoma is the leading one. early diagnosis and radical treatment of esophageal cancer, regardless of tumor spreading, increa...

Oesophageal cancer is the sixth most common among males and ninth females worldwide. The purpose of this study to detect association Human papilloma virus subtype 16 esophageal squamous cell carcinoma in Khartoum state Hospitals by polymerase chain reaction method. A retrospective descriptive archival formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue from Esophageal Squamous cells specimens acquired at O...

Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) against mucin 21 (MUC21), a human counterpart of mouse epiglycanin/Muc21, were prepared using human embryonic kidney 293 cells transfected with MUC21 as the immunogen. The specificity of these mAbs was examined by flow cytometry, immunoprecipitation and western blotting focusing on the differential glycosylation of MUC21 expressed in variant Chinese hamster ovary (C...

  Introduction: Esophageal Squamous-Cell Carcinoma (SCC) is one of the most common malignancies in Iran. To reduce the incidence of esophageal SCC, it is important to recognize the controllable risk factors and prevent them. Celiac disease is widely known as a possible risk factor for esophageal SCC.  Thus, we decided to assess the frequency of celiac disease in esophageal SCC patients in North...

background: this study evaluated the relation between telomere length in lymph node (ln) and prognosis of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (escc).  materials and methods: lns collected from 50 patients were assessed by pathological examination and quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qrt-pcr), which was used for detecting telomere length. the relation between clinical...
