چکیده مقاله:

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 factors and the number of lymph node metastasis (LNM) identified were analyzed by the χ2 test. The comparison of the pattern of LNM identified by pathological examination and detection of telomere length was assessed by Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Overall survival was assessed using the Kaplan-Meier method, and Cox proportional hazard regression analysis was used to evaluate the relationship between survival and the number of LNM.  Results: The best threshold values, which could define the positive metastasis by detecting the telomere length, were 1.50, using the critical value method of statistic. Length of tumor, depth of tumor invasion and differentiation of tumor correlated closely with LNM were identified by detecting telomere length. The rates of LNM identified by detecting telomere length were 34.4%, 22.4%, 22.9%, 5.0% in 108, 107, 7, and 3 LN station, respectively. The number of LNM identified by detecting telomere length was more closely related to the prognosis of ESCC than that of pathological examination (HR: 1.23 VERSUS 1.04). Conclusion: The change of telomere length in LN was closely related to the prognosis of ESCC. Delineation of clinical target volume (CTV) may benefit from the detection of telomere length in regional LN.

Role of Brg1 in progression of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma

Objective(s): Epigenetic regulation of gene expression can be carried out through chromatin remodeling enzymes such as SWI/SNF. Brg1 also known as SMARCA4 is a catalytic subunit of SWI/SNF, which is necessary for MMPs expression. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are known as important player enzymes during tumor progression and metastasis. Aberrant epigenetic modification of chromatin should be...

DETERMINATION OF THE PREVALENCE OF OCCULT NECK LYMPH NODE INVOLVEMENT IN PATIENTS WITH LARYNGEAL SQUAMOUS CELL CARCINOMA

Background & Aims: Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) accounts for 85% of laryngeal cancers. In some cases, lymph nodes do not show any specific symptoms despite being involved by cancer. Previous studies showed that patients undergoing selective neck lymph node dissection (SND) had significantly lower recurrence rates. We investigated the prevalence of occult neck lymph node involvement in patients...

Determining the Lymph Node Clinical Target Volume of Upper Esophageal Carcinoma with Computed Tomography

Radiation is an important modality for cervical and upper-thoracic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). Delineating the lymph node clinical target volume (CTVn) for EC remains a challenging task. The present paper retrospectively analyzes the distribution of affected lymph nodes of cervical and upper thoracic ESCC on CT images to provide a reference for determination of CTVn. The cases of...

Correlation between p33ING1b Cytoplasmic Transfer and Lymph Node Metastasis in Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Background: Oral squamous cell carcinoma is the sixth most common malignancy in the world today.  ING1b/p33 is a newly-discovered tumor suppressor which enhances p53 activity. Transfer of p33 protein from nucleus to cytoplasmic compartment has been previously reported in leukemias. The objective of this study was to determine the correlation between p33ing1b cytoplasmic transfer and lymph node ...
