Comparative E-Cadherin Digital Expression Analysis in HPV and non-HPV Related Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Oral Cavity...
Published in Anticancer research
Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) demonstrates aggressive biological behavior in subgroups of patients with specific molecular characteristics. Concerning metastatic potential, disruption of cell to cell adhesion is a critical event in epithelial malignancies including OSCC. Our aim was to investigate the role of E-Cadherin expression in OSCC pat...
Vitamin D in Head and Neck Cancer: a Systematic Review
...Published in Current Oncology Reports
Purpose of reviewObservational studies have shown that serum 25-OH vitamin D [25(OH)D] is inversely associated with overall cancer risk in many malignancies. We performed a systematic literature review to determine whether vitamin D deficiency is related to head and neck cancer (HNC) etiology and outcome.Recent findingsThe search yielded five prosp...
Endoclips as novel fiducial markers in trimodality bladder-preserving therapy of muscle-invasive bladder carcinoma: feas...
Published in International braz j urol : official journal of the Brazilian Society of Urology
Endoclip can be used as fiducial marker in urology. To assess the feasibility, cost effectiveness and reliability of endoclips as novel fiducial markers in precision radiotherapy, as part of a trimodality bladder-preserving treatment (TBPT) of muscle-invasive bladder carcinoma. This retrospective study was performed at Weifang People's Hospital (We...
Measurement variations of MRI and CT in the assessment of tumor depth of invasion in oral cancer: A retrospective study....
Published in European journal of radiology
In oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), depth of invasion (DOI) is an important predictive, prognostic, and staging parameter. While it is known that DOI can be estimated from preoperative imaging, an analysis of measurements variations according to imaging modality and to depth of tumor itself is lacking. The aim of the study was to assess the acc...
Nano drug delivery systems in upper gastrointestinal cancer therapy
Published in Nano Convergence
Upper gastrointestinal (GI) carcinomas are characterized as one of the deadliest cancer types with the highest recurrence rates. Their treatment is challenging due to late diagnosis, early metastasis formation, resistance to systemic therapy and complicated surgeries performed in poorly accessible locations. Current cancer medication face deficienc...
Frozen section in thyroid gland follicular neoplasms: It's high time to abandon it!
...Published in Surgical oncology
Thyroid nodules are a very common clinical condition. The 2015 American Thyroid Association (ATA) guidelines recommend surgical excision for Bethesda IV nodules. The use of intraoperative frozen section (FS) has been recommended as a strategy to tailor the extent of the initial surgery. We critically evaluated the literature that discusses the util...

Role of tumor margin and ADC change in defining the need for additional treatments after the first TACE in patients with...
...Published in European journal of radiology
To define the number of TACE sessions needed to improve patients' overall survival (OS) in different subgroups of unresectable HCC. This retrospective cohort included 180 patients who got TACE between 2005-2016 as the initial treatment for unresectable HCC. Tumor margin (well- vs. ill-defined) was determined by two radiologists at baseline. Well-de...
PIWIL-2 and piRNAs are regularly expressed in epithelia of the skin and their expression is related to differentiation.
Published in Archives of dermatological research
PIWI proteins play multiple roles in germline stem cell maintenance and self-renewal. PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) associate with PIWI proteins, form effector complexes and maintain genome integrity and function in the regulation of gene expression by epigenetic modifications. Both are involved in cancer development. In this study, we investigate...
