Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is one of the most common head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC) globally. Its incidence rate is rapidly increasing, and its 5-year survival rate remains at 50%, despite advances in medical science. Trigger transposable element-derived 1 (TIGD1) has been found to be upregulated in various cancer types.

Background: Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is the most prevalent malignant tumor in head and neck region. Platinum drug resistance limits the clinical application of chemotherapy regardless of medical development. The aim of our study is to identify cisplatin-resistant genes which can be used as new therapeutic targets and investigate the functional mechanism of OSCC chemoresistance.

Objectives: Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is the most common head and neck cancer. Chemotherapy has been recognized as an optional combination treatment, which enhance the overall survival of OSCC patients. However, the majority of patients would suffer therapeutic resistance, which led to the treatment failure and poor prognosis.

Intrinsic or developing resistance to chemotherapy drugs including cisplatin (CDDP) remains the major limitation of cancer therapeutic efficacy in cancers. Recently, increasing evidence suggested that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play a critical role in various biological processes of tumors, and have been implicated in resistance to various drugs. However, the role of lncRNAs in cisplatin resistance is poorly understood.

Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) characterized with invasive growth, local metastasis and later stage diagnosis was a common malignancy in head and neck region. The aim of this study was to explore the relationship between miR-182-5p and OSCC, which will contribute to find potential biomarker for OSCC metastasis. MiR-182-5p expression level was detected by the quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR).

Background: Urothelial bladder cancer (UBC) is one of the most lethal urological malignancies in the world. Patients with UBC are routinely given chemotherapy which results in a median survival of 12-15 months. Nuclear-enriched abundant transcript 1 (NEAT1) functions as an oncogene and could be used as a therapeutic target for human UBC.

Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is one of the most aggressive and lethal malignancies affecting the head and neck region with a general 5-year survival rate about 50%. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are believed to participate in diverse biological processes and are emerging as convenient and minimally invasive diagnostic/prognostic/therapeutic markers. The aim of this study was to explore CEBPA-AS1 role and mechanism in OSCC tumorigenesis.
