A 59-year-old white man was diagnosed with primary squamous cell carcinoma at the base of the tongue (clinical stage T4N3aM0). Cytogenetic analysis of the metaphase spreads obtained from primary cultures of the tumor tissue revealed a clonal abnormality with a 46,XY,t(2;6) (p23;q21),t(18;19)(q21;q13) karyotype.

Background And Aims: Sensitivity to immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy depends in part on the genetic and epigenetic makeup of cancer cells, and CD8 T-lymphocytes that mediate immune responses. Epigenetics are heritable reversible changes in gene expression that occur without any changes in the nuclear DNA sequence or DNA copy number.

Primary Objective: i.

Department of Clinical Laboratory Diagnosis, Shijiazhuang Pingan Hospital, Hebei Medical University, Shijiazhuang, China.

Background: Primary breast squamous cell carcinoma (PBSCC) is a unique histopathological type of breast cancer. The majority of current case reports of PBSCC are triple-negative tumors with poor prognosis. Due to its heterogeneous clinical course, no unified management is achieved.

Background: Human papillomavirus (HPV) negative oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) is associated with worse survival when compared to HPV-positive OPSCC. Primary surgery is one option to intensify therapy in this high-risk group of patients. Unfortunately, the only randomized trial to explore this approach (RTOG 1221) failed to accrue and the role of primary surgery in the treatment of HPV-negative OPSCC remains unanswered.

Proposal of staging system and treatment guideline for diagnostically challenging primary intra-osseous carcinoma: A retrospective single-center case series and literature review.

Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, School of Dentistry, Seoul National University, Seoul National University Dental Hospital, Seoul, 03080, South Korea; Department of One-Stop Specialty Center, Seoul National University Dental Hospital, Seoul, South Korea. Electronic address:

The objective of this retrospective study is to examine the clinical, imaging and pathologic features of 10 patients diagnosed with 'primary intraosseous carcinoma (PIOC)' at a single institution and to identify factors affecting the prognosis of PIOC patients. By proposing a new staging system based on tumor size, cortical bone deformation, neck metastasis and histologic grade, the study aims to address the lack of a distinct staging system, which has led to the mixed use of oral squamous cell carcinoma classification. Furthermore, the study intends to propose a treatment guideline based on the newly proposed staging system.

January 2025

Department of Oral Diagnosis, Piracicaba Dental School University of Campinas, 901, Limeira Avenue Postcode: 13414-903. Piracicaba-SP, Brazil

Background: Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is an aggressive cancer, with prognosis influenced by clinical variables as well grading systems and perineural invasion (PNI), which are associated to poorer outcomes, including higher rates of recurrence and metastasis. This study aims to evaluate OSCC using three grading systems and assess the impact of PNI and clinicopathologic parameters on patient survival.

Material And Methods: Eighty-one primary OSCC samples were analyzed.
