Objectives: Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is the most common oral malignancy with low survival as it is very often diagnosed at an advanced stage, which is why the accurate profiling of the tumor is essential. The aim of this study was to, for the first time, compare in OSCC the frequency of AR, VEGF, MMP9, HiF1beta and Ki67 between the non-metastatic and metastatic disease. Materials and Methods: In the study, 96 non-metastatic and 91 metastatic OSCC patients were analysed for AR, VEGF, MMP9, HiF1beta and Ki67 levels by immunohistochemistry. Results: All of the tested biomarkers significantly differed between non-metastatic and metastatic disease. A significant association was found between >/=20% AR positive epithelium cells in cytoplasm, Ki67 and VEGF in cancer stroma. Ki67, HiF1beta, VEGF and MMP9 were significantly associated with TNM stages. Conclusion: Our results show for the first time an interplay between AR, VEGF, MMP9, HiF1beta and Ki67 in OSCC which may contribute to better diagnostics and therapy selection.

Objectives: Oral Squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is the most common malignant tumor of the oral cavity. The study was done with the aim to determine the clinical pattern of OSCC seen in tertiary care hospital of Karachi, Pakistan. The frequency of neck metastasis in different staging of squamous cell carcinoma was also recorded. Study Design: Retrospective study. Setting: Department of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery Liaquat College of Medicine and Dentistry. Period: June 2013- July 2016. Material & Methods: It included 35 males and 25 females which presented with different sites and stage of squamous cell carcinoma. Clinically patients were staged as stage I, stage II, stage III and stage IV and comprised of 3, 8, 30 & 19 patients respectively. Patients presented with cancer of buccal mucosa (31 patients), retromolar region (12 patients), maxillary alveolus (8 patients), tongue (2 patients), floor of mouth (4 patients) & lip (3 patients). Right side was most common, 48 patients as compare to left side, 12 patients while lip cancers was in upper lip in all patients including commissure. Results: Total 60 patients were included in the study with the male to female ratio of 1.4:1. No significant association was seen between age and gender of the patient (p-value 0.933). Majority of patients were male involving buccal mucosa (51.67%) as the most frequently involved site followed by retromolar area (20%) and tongue (13.3%). Mean age of patients included in the study was 50.87 ± 5.53. Conclusion: Most of the cases of OSCC were seen in older patients with increased number of cases involving buccal mucosa as their primary site. Majority of the tumors were classified as stage III followed by Stage IV, Stage II and stage 1 respectively.

Background Outcome studies on sinonasal malignancy are limited to retrospective case series, often with inclusion of diverse histology and short follow-up. The objective of this study was to identify key predictive variables that independently impact survival for paranasal sinus squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and adenocarcinoma (AC) and to compare these variables in the context of these two distinct clinicopathologic entities. Methods: Analysis was conducted using the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database from 1973 to 2012 to identify key variables that impact survival for SCC and AC. Results A total of 3,714 cases were included. There were 2,895 SCC cases and 819 AC cases. The mean age at diagnosis was 64.1 years. The male to female ratio for SCC and AC was 1.85 and 1.04, respectively. Patients with SCC and AC were most often diagnosed with stage IV disease in 61.8 and 63.4% of cases, respectively. The majority of patients received combined surgery and radiation (52% for SCC and 43.1% for AC). For SCC, increased age (p < 0.001) and stage (p < 0.001) were negative predictors, and surgery improved survival (p < 0.001) on multivariate analysis. For AC, prognostic factors associated with worse survival include increased age (p < 0.001) and grade (p < 0.001) on multivariate analysis. Overall survival was significantly higher in AC compared with SCC at 5 years (p = 0.001). Conclusion SCC and AC of the paranasal sinuses are both aggressive malignancies with poor survival. For both histological subtypes, increased age predicts worse survival and grade also closely links to survival in AC. These data have important potential implications for treatment planning and pretreatment counseling.
