Background: Oesophageal cancer (OC) is a cancer that develops in the gastrointestinal tract and is caused by a variety of circumstances. It has quite an uneven geographic distribution with male predominance and squamous cell carcinoma being most frequent type of oesophageal carcinoma in developing countries. As Pakistan lacks any proper cancer registry this study was needed to have an idea of the OC statistics in South Punjab region. Objective was to determine the prevalence of OC in the general population and in young people of South Punjab, PakistanMethods: Retrospective cross-sectional study. Two hundred and twenty-three patients who presented to Multitest lab from 2014 to 2018 were included in the study.Results: The 186 patients were positive for OC. Sixty patients were below 40 years of age. Male to female ratio was 1.24:1. Most frequent symptom was dysphagia and squamous cell carcinoma was histological subtype.Conclusions: In our study based on South Punjab region, oesophageal carcinoma has become a common condition and is more prevalent in males. It commonly involves upper oesophagus and squamous cell carcinoma is the most frequent type. It can also be concluded that it is in increasing in young population of South Punjab.

Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is a subset of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma caused by excessive substance abuse like alcohol, tobacco etc.  Objectives: Aim of the present study was to evaluate the iron expression in different grades of OSCC and potential of iron staining as a prognostic marker and its importance as an essential nutrient in diet. Methods and Patients: It was a cross sectional study. A total of 40 oral biopsies were evaluated and the mean age of patients was 53.5 years with age range 23-80 years. 14 cases were well differentiated, 14 moderately differentiated and there were 12 poorly differentiated case. Iron staining was performed for all these cases. Results: Iron positivity was observed in 11 (27.5%) of OSCC patients with maximum iron positivity in well differentiated group (64.28%) of age range 20-40 years (70%). More patients had tongue as site of cancer. There was no genderwise difference in iron expression. Iron deficiency was associated with poor prognosis indicating iron as an important nutrient which can prevent OSCC if adequately present in our routine diet. Conclusions: Prevalence of iron positivity in young patients and initial stage of OSCC, indicates the protective effect of iron against oral squamous cell carcinoma

Sinonasal Inverted Papilloma

BACKGROUND: Sinonasal inverted papilloma (SIP), a benign epithelial growth in the sinonasal region with epidermoid epithelial transformation, has been known for its invasiveness, recurrency, and its link with malignancy. Meanwhile sinonasal squamous cell carcinoma (SSCC) is an epithelial malignancy on squamous cells from the sinonasal region. Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), Nuclear Factor kB (NF-kB), and Cyclin D1 are factors those might play important role in proliferation of SIP and SSCC. This research was conducted to investigate the expressions of EGFR, NF-kB and Cyclin D1 in SIP and SSCC.METHODS: A cross-sectional study by examining the EGFR, NF-kB, and Cyclin D1 immunohistochemical expressions of SIP and SSCC was conducted. Subjects whose blocks were used in this research, were diagnosed as SIP and SSCC at the Otorhinolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery Clinic, Dr. Saiful Anwar General Hospital. Samples were selected, processed for inmmunohistochemistry, evaluated and statistical analyzed.RESULTS: Twenty-four SIP and 9 SSCC subjects with their paraffin blocks were selected. Clear immunohistochemical expressions of EGFR, NF-kB, and Cyclin D1 were observed for both SIP and SSCC. Significantly higher immunostaining levels of EGFR (45.6%, p=0.001) and NF-kB (42.2%, p=0.013) were observed in SSCC. Immunostaining levels of EGFR vs. NF-kB were moderately correlated (p=0.03, r=0.437), while the immunostaining levels of NF-kB vs. Cyclin D1 were strongly correlated (p=0.002, r=0.602).CONCLUSION: Expression of EGFR and NF-kB in SSCC were higher than the EGFR and NF-kB expression in SIP, suggesting that EGFR and NF-kB play important role in sinonasal malignancy.KEYWORDS: sinonasal, inverted papilloma, SCC, EGFR, NF-kB, Cyclin D1

P16 Expression

Introduction: Cervical cancer is the most common cancer among females. P16 is the surrogate marker for cervical carcinoma. This study aimed to evaluate the association of P16 marker with clinic-pathological parameters in squamous cell carcinoma of uterine cervix. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study. Histological confirmed cases of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of cervix were considered. All cases were evaluated for IHC P16 expression as per lower anogenital squamous terminology (LAST) criteria and correlated with clinico-pathological parameters. The data was analyzed by SPSS software version 22. Results: Out of 75 cases, P16 biomarker expression was block positive, ambiguous and negative in 67 (89.3%), 5 (6.6%), and 3 (4%) cases, respectively. There was a significant association between P16 expression and age (p = 0.005). All cases between 30-59 years of age showed block positivity. There was no significant association between P16 expression and age at marriage (p = 0.951), age at menopause (p = 0.311), parity (p = 0.554), clinical symptoms/signs, stage of disease (p = 0.28), or histopathological grade (p = 0.877). Maximum expression was seen between 40-44 years. Moreover, all cases having 1 & 2 parity showed block positivity and all stage I cases showed block positivity. Conclusion: P16 biomarker was significantly expressed in cervical cancers of the relatively younger age group and those with early stage of disease.

Due to close relationship of vital structures in the neck, certain complications are inherent to neck dissection (ND) for the treatment of patients with metastatic neck disease of squamous cell carcinoma. Aim: To compare the incidence of complications of Comprehensive ND done in primary neck and in irradiated neck. Methods: A cross sectional study of 267 patients with metastatic squamous cell carcinoma in the neck, with or without primary tumor, under gone ND with a curative intension, was made from January 2007 to December 2011 (five years). It was done to identify perioperative complications and to compare them in NDs done in primary neck and in irradiated neck. Result: Total 267 patients with unilateral Comprehensive ND, with or without en-block of the primary tumor, were studied. There was no death. The most frequent complication was marginal mandibular nerve injury (4.05% in primary neck and 8.51% in irradiated neck) followed by intra operative hemorrhage (1.16% in primary neck and 3.19% in irradiated neck). Conclusion: There were no perioperative death in either category; nerves were the most commonly injured structures. Complications were higher in neck dissection in irradiated neck than in primary neck dissection.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bjo.v19i1.14857 Bangladesh J Otorhinolaryngol 2013; 19(1): 5-10

Aims: The purpose of the study is to evaluate the frequency, distribution and determinants of tongue lesions in our teaching institute. Also to find an association of common tongue lesions with various study variables. Study Design: Cross-sectional study design. Place and Duration of Study: The study was conducted at Fatima Jinnah Dental College & Hospital, Karachi, Pakistan. All the lesions presented on the tongue were included reported from January 2017 to December 2020. Methodology: There were 670 oral lesions documented in the Department of Oral Pathology and Oral Medicine out of which 93 (13.8%) represented tongue lesions. We included 93 patients with tongue lesions (45 men, 48 women; age range 18-80 years). These lesions include the atrophic tongue, geographic tongue, candidiasis, keratotic lesion, ulceration, oral pigmentation, fibroma, black hairy tongue, traumatic neuroma, herpes infection, oral submucous fibrosis, and oral squamous cell carcinoma. Results: In the study, common clinical presentations on the tongue were ulceration (29%), erythematous/depapillated tongue (22.6%), white keratotic and plaque-like lesions (21.6%), and black discoloration (8.6%). The clinical presentation was statistically associated with gender (p=0.03), age (p=0.04) and site of lesion (p<.001). Atrophic glossitis (19.4%), traumatic ulcer (12.9%), pseudomembranous candidiasis (12.9%), oral pigmentation (8.6%), oral squamous cell carcinoma (7.5%), geographic tongue (6.5%), recurrent aphthous stomatitis (6.5%), and frictional keratosis (6.5%) were most commonly reported tongue lesions. There was a relationship of tongue lesions with causes and site of the lesion (P<0.001). Conclusion: Initial tongue lesions may reflect underlying massive abnormal changes and this could be an early diagnostic parameter.  Through vigilant screening of the oral mucosa, we may be able to detect such mucosal alterations and search out the possible cause in order to provide effective treatment to the patient. In this way, we may also prevent the malignant transformation of any susceptible oral lesions.
