In sinonasal squamous cell carcinoma (SNSCC), the prognostic relevance of p16INK4a (p16) expression has been reported rarely. This study aims to examine the immunohistochemical expression of p16 and investigate the possibility of p16 as a prognostic factor for SNSCC. The medical records of 173 individuals with SNSCC between 2010 and 2022 were retrospectively reviewed.

Methods: The National Program of Cancer Registries and Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database was used to determine racial disparity in age adjusted incidence rate (AAIR) of HPSCC and its temporal trend during 2004-2019. Using the separate SEER 17 database, we further evaluated racial disparity in clinicopathological features, and in prognosis using Kaplan-Meier curves and Cox proportional hazard models.
This study assessed the prognosis of young patients with nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC), both domestic and foreign, using data from the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) database, a population-based database, and departmental records. Patients diagnosed with NPC from 2004 to 2016 in the SEER database were reviewed. Young patients aged ≤30 years when diagnosed, were compared with older patients.

Background: Sinonasal squamous cell carcinoma (SNSCC) is a rare malignancy with varied outcomes. The aim of this study was to develop a nomogram for predicting survival of patients with SNSCC.
Methods: From the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database, we identified 1766 patients diagnosed with SNSCC between 2004 and 2015.
Background: There is a scarcity of data about the prognostic value of orbital invasion in esthesioneuroblastoma (ENB), as well as about its management strategies. Indications for the preservation of orbital contents remain controversial, and the evaluation of orbital invasion has been ill defined.
Methods: This retrospective analysis contained 60 ENB patients with orbital invasion who underwent radiotherapy with or without surgery over the past 14 years.
Immunotherapy may be a potential alternative for patients with sinonasal squamous cell carcinoma (SNSCC). Data regarding potential immunotherapy targets, such as programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) and tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs), in SNSCC are limited. In this study, we assessed the prevalence and prognostic value of PD-L1 expression and TILs in p16-negative and p16-positive SNSCC.

We used 605 nm carboxyl water-soluble quantum dots and nasopharyngeal carcinoma EBNA1 antigen in 1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl-3-2-ethylcarbonimine hydrochloride to generate quantum dot-labeled antigen. Gel imaging system showed that serum group and 60 patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma had significant differences in 30 cases of normal adult serogroup brightness, Levene test in the two groups ELISA absorbance value was P<0.

It is among the worst of all cancers in the head and neck subsites. Therefore, detection of HPC at an earlier stage would be beneficial to patients.

Objective: To observed the prevention efficacy of secretory otitis media after radiation therapy by the Myrtol Standardized Enteric Coated Soft Capsules.
Method: Sixty patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma who Diagnosis without secretory otitis media before radiation therapy were divided into experimental group and control group, 30 cases in each group. After the start of radiation therapy ,the experimental group patients oral the Myrtol Standardized Enteric Coated Soft Capsules, each 0.
