esophageal cancer (ec) is the eighth most common cancer and sixth most frequent cause of cancer mortality worldwide. esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (escc) is the most common type of ec. escc develops by progression from premalignant lesions, which are called esophageal squamous dysplasia (esd). prevention is the most effective strategy for controlling this disease. generally, two methods ma...

To discover candidate biomarkers for diagnosis and detection of human laryngeal carcinoma and explore possible mechanisms of this cancer carcinogenesis, two-dimensional strong cation-exchange/reversed-phase nano-scale liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry analysis was used to identify differentially expressed proteins between the laryngeal carcinoma tissue and the adjacent normal tissue. As a...

introduction: laryngectomy in patients with laryngeal cancer can lead to the reduction of nutritional parameters. supportive treatments and supplementary nutritional supports are recommended in all patients undergoing laryngectomy, even with acceptable preoperative nutritional indices.the aim of this study was to evaluate postoperative changes in nutritional parameters in patients with laryngea...

background: fanconi anemia (fa) is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by congenital malformations, bone marrow failure, development of squamous cell carcinoma (scc), and other cancers. human papillomavirus (hpv) in the oral cavity or oropharynx has been associated with an increased risk of laryngeal papillomatosis, invasive squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (hnscc) and cer...

We examined 170 formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded samples from esophageal squamous cell carcinoma patients. All subjects live in Mazandaran province, a region with high incidence rate of esophageal cancer and have become known as the “Asian Esophageal Cancer Belt”. Samples were tested for HPV-DNA by MY09/11 and Gp5+/6+ general primers using nested PCR. Of the 170 ESCC samples, 86 (50.6%) were ma...

Squamous cell carcinoma of the gallbladder is rare and constitutes only 0.5-3% of all malignancies of this organ. Most of the reported cases have had a component of adenocarcinoma. We report a 70-year-old man who presented with acute onset right upper quadrant pain. He operated on based on a presumptive diagnosis of acute cholecystitis according to clinical and ultrasonographic findings. Histop...

This report is related to a female 7-year-old crossbreed sheep whose right eye had been protruded andswelling of upper eyelid was observed. Routine enucleating was performed. Histopathological evaluation ofeyelid revealed coincidence of two kinds of neoplasms. The first part was composed of multiple lobules ofsebocytes, which were detected as meibomian adenoma. The second section included infil...
