Background: Despite the histopathologic findings of tumor-free margins, patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) often suffer from local tumor relapse. The purpose of this study was to determine the prognostic value of DNA-image cytometry in the assessment of resection margins.
Methods: DNA-image cytometry was performed in 40 SCC patients with histologically tumor-free resection margins. The follow-up period since the tumor resection was at least 3 years.
Results: Twenty patients showed a locoregional relapse of the SCC. Fourteen of these patients had aneuploid cells in DNA-image cytometry. Two patients who were relapse-free revealed aneuploid cells too. The sensitivity of the adjuvant use of DNA-image cytometry was 70% and the positive predictive value was 87.5%.
Conclusions: The additional use of DNA-image cytometry is a reasonable tool for the assessment of the resection margins of SCCs. DNA-image cytometry could help to find the appropriate treatment option for the patients and thus might improve their prognosis.

Article Synopsis
- * A case study demonstrated the successful treatment of CHC in a 30-year-old man using a combination of semiconductor laser pretreatment and 5-amino-levulinic acid (5-ALA) photodynamic therapy (PDT) after traditional antifungal treatment failed.
- * The treatment showcased positive results with minimal side effects, no signs of recurrence or malignancy during follow-up, suggesting this approach may offer a promising solution for CHC patients unresponsive to standard antifungals.

Oral Submucosal Fibrosis (OSF) and Oral Leukoplakia (OLK) are well-known oral potentially malignant disorders, and cases of Oral Submucosal Fibrosis concomitant Oral Leukoplakia (OSF+OLK) are now being reported clinically. DNA image cytometry is an objective and non-invasive method for monitoring the risk of precancerous lesions in the oral cavity. A total of 111 patients with clinically characterized oral mucosal lesions underwent simultaneous and independent histopathological and DNA imaging cytometry assessments.

Background: Prostate cancer is morphologically and molecularly heterogeneous. Genomic heterogeneity might be mirrored by variability in DNA ploidy. Aneuploidy is a hallmark of genomic instability and associated with tumor aggressiveness.

Objective: The objective of this study is to study the adjunct role of combining DNA aneuploidy analysis with radial endobronchial ultrasound (R-EBUS)-guided sampling for diagnosis of peripheral lung lesions (PPLs).
Method: A single-center prospective study was conducted in patients undergoing R-EBUS-guided sampling for PPLs. DNA image cytometry (DNA-ICM) was used to analyze DNA aneuploidy in bronchial washing from the bronchial segment of the PPL.
