conclusions based on evidence, dentists and dental health care professionals should consider periodontal disease as a risk factor for the development of neoplasms in the oral cavity. it also seems a good idea to provide periodontal therapy for patients with cancer to achieve ideal therapeutic results. results cancer of the oral cavity and periodontal disease are related from different aspects. ...

introduction: squamous cell carcinoma (scc) is the most common head and neck malignancy. smoking, alcohol consumption, viral infections, exposure, oral hygiene, and dietary, genetic, and occupational factors are the most important etiologic factors. the aim of this study was determining the incidence of etiologic factors in head and neck scc.  materials and methods: this is a cross-sectional su...

The aim of the present study was to prove that a mouse model closely simulates human oral cancer progression by comparing the expression levels of transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1, E-cadherin, N-cadherin, tumor protein (TP)53, RB1 inducible coiled-coil (RB1CC)1 and hypoxia inducible factor (HIF)-1α at different stages of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) in humans and mice. The expression ...

OBJECTIVES Glutathione S-transferase (GST) A1 catalyses the activated heterocyclic aromatic a mine carcinogenN-acetoxy-2-amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (N-OAc-PhIP). This case-control study was carried out to examine whether the genetic polymorphism of GSTA1 is associated with the risk oforal squamous cell carcinoma among Japanese people in relation to their smoking status. MET...

OBJECTIVES The goal of this study was to determine the correlation of clinicopathological factors and the up-regulation of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression in oral squamous cell carcinoma. MATERIALS AND METHODS Immunohistochemical staining of VEGF and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) of VEGF mRNA were performed in 20 specimens from 20 patients with...

Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is the most prevalent malignant neoplasm of the oral cavity. The conventional tumour and several histologic subtypes of SCC present morphologic features and specific behaviour when they occur in the oral mucosa. For example, basaloid SCC is an aggressive tumour and verrucous carcinoma has the lowest invasive and metastatic potential; however, the clinical and biolo...

verrucous carcinoma is a unique clinical and pathological entity which has been recognised in the recent years. it is a variant of well-differentiated squamous cell carcinoma which may occur in the larynx; other anatomic locations such as: the oral cavity, anogenital region, and skin may be involved. it accounts for 1-2% of all laryngeal cancers. the clinical, histopathological and biologic fea...
