Background: It was tested whether the difference in carcinogenesis between noxa and human papillomavirus (HPV)-driven head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is associated with a variation in genomic instability.
Methods: Conventional and molecular cytogenetics in HPV-positive and HPV-negative HNSCC cell lines.
Results: Numerical aneuploidy determined by multicolor fluorescence in situ hybridization and DNA ploidy was very similar for both entities with most chromosomes being present either in quadruplicate or triplicate, and only few are still diploid with, however, a striking similarity in the overall pattern. A clear difference was seen concerning the translocations formed, with no difference in the total amount but with a significantly higher genomic instability of HPV-positive cell lines at chromosome 3 as compared to HPV-negative cells.
Conclusion: The different processes of carcinogenesis of HPV-positive and HPV-negative HNSCC appear to result in a similar pattern of numerical but a clear difference in structural chromosomal aberrations.

Aberrant expression of grainyhead-like transcription factor 3 (GRHL3) has been extensively reported in the development and progression of several squamous cell carcinomas, such as cutaneous, head and neck, and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. However, the clinical significance and biological roles of GRHL3 in lung squamous cell (LUSC) carcinoma are largely unclear. Herein, we report that GRHL3 was significantly upregulated in lung squamous epithelium of LUSC tissues, bronchiole, and bronchus.

Objective: Based on the findings of the KEYNOTE-048 study, pembrolizumab in combination with platinum and fluorouracil is the standard first-line treatment for recurrent or metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (R/M HNSCC). The efficacy and safety of pembrolizumab combined with nab-paclitaxel and platinum in such patients remain unexplored.
Methods: This single-arm phase 2 study enrolled patients with R/M HNSCC who received pembrolizumab (200 mg), nab-paclitaxel (260 mg/m²), and either cisplatin (75 mg/m²) or carboplatin [area under the curve (AUC) 5] every 21 d for up to six cycles, followed by pembrolizumab maintenance therapy.

Background: We explored the interaction between the oral microbiome and the development of radiation-induced mucositis in patients with head and neck squamous cell cancer (HNSCC) undergoing chemoradiotherapy (CRT). We prospectively studied the oral microbiome and compared it to healthy controls. Additionally, we compared patients with low-grade (LGM) vs.

Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) are invasive solid tumors accounting for high mortality. To improve the clinical outcome, a better understanding of the tumor and its microenvironment (TME) is crucial. Three -dimensional (3D) bioprinting is emerging as a powerful tool for recreating the TME in vitro.
