Models of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma using bioengineering approaches.

The use of bioengineering methods and approaches is extremely promising for the development of experimental models of cancer, especially head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC) that are characterized by early metastasis and rapid progression., for testing novel anticancer drugs and diagnostics. This review summarizes the most relevant HNSCC tumor models used to this day as well as future directions for improved modeling of the malignant disease.

Case of Hereditary Papillary Renal Cell Carcinoma Type I in a Patient With a Germline Mutation in Russia.

Hereditary papillary renal carcinoma (HPRC) is a rare autosomal dominant disease characterized by the development of multiple papillary type I renal cell carcinomas. This hereditary kidney cancer form is caused by activating mutations in . Descriptions of patients with HPRC are scarce in the world literature, and no cases have been described in open sources in Russia.

Trials of a Fluorescent Endoscopic Video System for Diagnosis and Treatment of the Head and Neck Cancer.

This article presents the results of intraoperative fluorescent diagnostics via the endoscopic system for assessing the quality of photodynamic therapy (PDT) of head and neck cancer. The diagnosis and PDT procedures were performed on the five patients with malignant neoplasms of the vocal cords, lateral surface of the tongue, and trachea and cancer of the left parotid salivary gland. Molecular form of chlorin E6 (Ce6) was intravenously administered with a 1.
