Changes in Salivary Antioxidants Patients with Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma: Systematic Review Study and Meta-Analysis

the role of oxygen free radicals in the initiation, promotion and progression of carcinogenesis and the protective role of anti-oxidant defenses has been the subject of much speculation in the recent past with conflicting reports in the literature. in recent years, increasing experimental and clinical data have provided compelling evidence for the involvement of oxidative stress in a large numb...

background: carcinomas of esophagus, mostly squamous cell carcinomas, occur throughout the world. there are a number of suspected genetic or environmental etiologies. human papilloma virus (hpv) is said to be a major etiology in areas with high incidence of esophageal carcinoma, while it is hardly detectable in low incidence regions. this study was designed to evaluate the prevalence of hpv in ...

Background: Although the imbalance of cytokines in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HNSCC) is well known, there is scarce data regarding its occurrence during dysplasia, before the malignant transformation. Objective: To determine whether laryngeal dysplasia patients show a different cytokine profile than patients with cancer and healthy controls. Methods: Seventeen newly diagnosed, untre...

The primary squamous cell carcinoma of prostate is a rare tumor that its histogenesis has not been clearly identified. This tumor comprises 0.5 to 1 % of malignant tumors of prostate. In most cases, there exists a severe and atypical metaplasia. The case was a 66 years man that admitted for increased frequency of urination and a burning sensation. In initial examinations, because of the existe...

background & objective: chronic non healing ulcers or scar undergoing malignant transformation is a rare phenomenon with an estimated incidence of 2%. though, numerous predisposing factors have been identified, still it is rarely diagnosed and commonly mistaken for a benign condition. the objective of this study was to verify the efficacy of the fine needle aspiration cytology/ scrape cytol...

the purpose of the present study was to estimate the frequency of hpv dna in four groups of oral lesions, including oral squamous cell carcinoma. sixty paraffin-embedded oral tissue samples were examined for the presence of hpv dnas using the pcr technique. these specimens were obtained from patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma (oscc), leukoplakia, oral lichen planus (olp), and pyogenic g...
