Lingual squamous cell carcinoma is one of the most frequent localization of the oral carcinomas. The tongue neoplasia represents nearly 40% of the oral carcinomas. Recent studies showed an increasing trend of lingual carcinoma in young patients. Several staining tests have been described to early detect the disease. After detection, disease free margins resection will increase the survival rate. This study aims to analyze the methylene blue staining test in achieving disease free resection margins in lingual squamous cell carcinoma.

AbstractAnal Squamous Cell Carcinoma (ASCC) is a rare cancer that has a rapidly increasing incidence in areas with highly developed economies. ASCC is strongly associated with HIV and there appears to be increasing numbers of younger male persons living with HIV (PLWH) diagnosed with ASCC. This is a retrospective cohort study of HIV positive and HIV negative patients diagnosed with primary ASCC between January 2000 and January 2020 in a demographic group with high prevalence rates of HIV. One Hundred and seventy six patients were included, and clinical data was retrieved from multiple, prospective databases. A clinical subgroup was identified in this cohort of younger HIV positive males who were more likely to have had a prior diagnosis of Anal Intraepithelial Neoplasia (AIN). Gender and HIV status had no effect on staging or disease-free survival. PLWH were more likely to develop a recurrence (p < 0.000) but had a longer time to recurrence than HIV negative patients, however this was not statistically significant (46.1 months vs. 17.5 months; p = 0.077). Patients known to have a previous diagnosis of AIN were more likely to have earlier staging and local tumour excision. Five-year Disease-Free Survival was associated with tumour size and the absence of nodal or metastatic disease (p < 0.000).

INTRODUCTION: Esophageal cancer is one of the most common cancers in the world affecting males more often than females and with a poor prognosis. The aim of our work was to describe the epidemiology of patients followed for esophageal cancer at the Joliot-Curie Institute in 2018. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This is a descriptive retrospective study including all patients followed at the institute from January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2018 for esophageal cancer with histological evidence. RESULTS: We collected 93 patients referred to the institute for the management of esophageal cancer, 46 women (49.5%) and 47 men (50.5%). The mean age was 49 years with a median age of 50 and extremes of 22 and 84 years. The notion of smoking was found in 24 patients (25.8%) exclusively men (51%), associated in six cases with a notion of alcoholism. The median consultation time was five months. The main circumstance of discovery remains dysphagia (87.1%), followed by aphagia (4.3%) and odynophagia (4.3%). Squamous cell carcinoma is the most represented histological type with 89 patients (95.7%) distributed as follows: 45 women and 44 men. Adenocarcinoma was found in three cases (two men and one woman) and finally one case of adenosquamous carcinoma. CONCLUSION: Squamous cell carcinoma is the most frequent esophagus cancer. It represents the fifth location in our institute and occurs in young patients without gender predominance.
