Importin-β, exportin-5, p16, Ki-67, Mcl1, PDL1, and cFLIP are each over-expressed in the majority of CIN 1 lesions. These biomarkers, plus HPV E6/E7 RNA, were analyzed in carcinoma-in-situ (CIS), microinvasive, and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the uterine cervix and cervical carcinoma cell lines. Only p16 and Ki-67 continued to be over-expressed in CIS, with a concomitant marked increase in E6/E7 RNA. There was a highly significant increase in PDL1 expression and decrease in Ki-67 (each p < 0.001) in microinvasive cancer compared to CIS whereas p16 and E6/E7 remained stable. As the lesion progressed to SCC, p16 and E6/E7 RNA remained strongly overexpressed with a concomitant over expression of importin-β and Ki67. HPV positive Caski cells showed significant elevations of p16, importin-β, exportin-5 and PDL1 compared to the HPV negative cervical cancer cell line C33A, consistent with viral induction of these biomarkers. The data suggest that PDL1 may be a useful biomarker to differentiate CIS from microinvasive cancer and, thus, anti-PDL1 therapy may inhibit the progression of CIS to the invasive stage.

Podoplanin expression in various types of oral dysplasia and oral squamous cell carcinoma.

Objective: This study was aimed at investigating the roles of podoplanin (PDPN) as a marker associated with malignant development, progression, and poor prognosis in oral leukoplakia and various forms of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), particularly in relation to the extent of invasion.
Methods: Immunohistochemical analysis of PDPN was conducted on 77 histologically confirmed, formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded samples representing various degrees of OSCC invasion and dysplasia grades.
Results: The samples were analyzed with Fisher's exact test and the Kruskal-Wallis test.

Microinvasive oral squamous cell carcinoma (MISCC) is the early stage of oral cancer that shows a breach in the basement membrane, and the depth of invasion of the tumour is limited to 0.5-2mm into the papillary stroma. A review of the available data on MISCC was conducted to formulate a management protocol for MISCC and to assess the association of MISCC with oral potentially malignant disorders.

Article Synopsis
- Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) progresses through various stages, making it hard to distinguish between them using standard histopathology techniques.
- This study evaluated the expression of the D2-40 marker in different OSCC stages using 30 tissue samples, revealing that D2-40 is strongly expressed in microinvasive and invasive cases compared to high-grade dysplasia.
- The findings suggest D2-40 could serve as a valuable biomarker for early detection of microinvasion in oral lesions, potentially aiding in more accurate diagnoses.

To analyze long-term prognosis and influencing factors of recurrence in vocal fold leukoplakia treated by endoscopic cordectomy with CO laser. A retrospective review was conducted on 599 patients with vocal fold leukoplakia [566 males and 33 females, aged 17-84 years (median age 55 years)], undergoing endoscopic cordectomy by CO laser under general anesthesia at the Department of Otorhinolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery of Beijing Tongren Hospital, Capital Medical University, from January 2000 to December 2023. The study analyzed the clinical features, pathological grade, surgical methods, postoperative voice function, recurrence, malignant changes and analyzed the long-term efficacy and and its influencing factors.

Article Synopsis
- * Methods: Conducted at a diagnostic hospital in Rawalpindi, Pakistan, the study involved analyzing challenging biopsy specimens using various staining techniques and had two observers provide preliminary and final diagnoses without prior knowledge of each other's reports.
- * Results: The application of the two staining methods resulted in a significant reduction in differences between observers, enhancing the diagnosis of microinvasive oral squamous cell carcinoma by revealing details that normal staining missed.
