Objective: To study the trend of different histological types of cervical carcinoma among the 3 major ethnic groups in Malaysia.
Methods: All invasive cervical carcinoma histologically diagnosed for the first time in 1991-1992 and 1996-1997 at the University Hospital, Kuala Lumpur (UHKL) were reviewed for the following parameters; age, ethnic group, histological category.
Results: One hundred and twenty-one and 145 cases were diagnosed in 1991-1992 and 1996-1997, respectively. During both periods, squamous was followed by adeno and adenosquamous carcinoma in frequency. Patients' mean ages ranged within the 4th decade for all 3 major histological types. Ethnically, an overall predilection for the Chinese was observed. While squamous carcinomas had declined among the Chinese and Malays, adenocarcinomas were noted to increase. The converse was observed among the Indians.
Conclusions: Ethnically, cervical carcinoma showed a predilection for Malaysians of Chinese descent. A decreasing incidence of squamous with a worrying increasing trend of adenocarcinoma was observed, like in other populations studied.

Background: Primary squamous cell carcinoma of the thyroid (PSCCT) has recently been reclassified as a morphologic pattern of anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC). Consequently, PSCCT and squamous cell carcinoma with papillary thyroid carcinoma (SCC-PTC) were categorized as ATC. However, in terms of clinical characteristics and overall prognosis, whether PSCCT is similar to SCC-PTC has yet to be sufficiently investigated.

Background: Adding pembrolizumab, an anti-PD-1 antibody approved for treatment of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) to neoadjuvant (induction-) chemotherapy utilizing docetaxel and cisplatin (TP) followed by radiotherapy may improve outcome in larynx organ-preservation (LOP) that is investigated in the European Larynx-Organ preservation Study (ELOS). As biomarkers for response to TP and pembrolizumab +TP are missing but may include cytokines, this work aims on determining cytokines potentially linked to outcome as prognostic markers sufficient to predict and/or monitor response to successful LOP.
Methods: Collagenase IV digests were generated from 47 histopathological confirmed HNSCC tumor samples and seeded in 96-well plates containing pembrolizumab, docetaxel, cisplatin either solely or in binary or ternary combination.

Objective: To investigate the relationship of pretreatment of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and cervical lymph node metastasis (LNM) (central LNM (CLNM) and lateral LNM (LLNM)) in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) patients with ≤ 55 years old.
Methods: Clinicopathological data (CTCs level, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, thyroid function, multifocal, tumor size, invaded capsule, clinical stage, and LNM) of 588 PTC patients with ≤ 55 years old were retrospectively collected. The relationship of CLNM, LLNM and the clinical features of patients was analyzed.
