A growing area of research is focused on cancer therapy, and new therapeutic approaches are welcomed. Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-based gene therapy is a promising strategy in oncology. Intrinsic tropism and migration to tumor microenvironment with off lights are attractive features of this type of cell carrier. In this way, suicide genes have also found a good platform for better performance a...

discussion benign metastasizing pleomorphic adenoma is a rare and controversial but distinct clinical entity. although the definition of the term benign precludes metastatic disease, these tumors do not demonstrate any malignant features yet metastasized to distinct sites. it remains to be determined whether this benign metastasizing pleomorphic adenoma is really low grade salivary malignancy. ...

introduction: certain types of human papillomavrus (hpv) are associated with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (cin) and squamous cell carcinoma (scc). the aim of theobservations reported here was to determine whether the prognosis for invasive cancers of the uterine cervix is related to the type of human papillomavirus asociated with the tumor. material and methods: twenty patients with invas...

Introduction: To assess the rate of cervical lymph node involvement in patients with supraglottic squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) with no lymph node in clinical assessments and radiological studies. Materials and Methods: Fifty-six patients who underwent elective dissection of the cervical lymph node of the second through fourth level were enrolled, and pathologic evaluation of the dissected lymp...

Pancoast tumor accounts for 3%-5% of all non-small cell lung carcinomas. This tumor has a distinct clinical presentation through local invasion and the resulting clinical entity called Pancoast syndrome. This syndrome includes severe shoulder pain, arm pain, and Horner’s syndrome andatrophy of forearm and hand muscles. The differential diagnosis of arm and shoulder pain is extensive. Thoracic o...
