Human papillomavirus (HPV) is recognized as a necessary, but insufficient cause of cervical cancer. Recent and evidence from our laboratory demonstrate that hyperactivation of yes-associated protein 1 (YAP1) is sufficient to induce cervical carcinogenesis. We found that synergism between hyperactivated YAP1 and high-risk HPV is a key driver of cervical cancer initiation and progression.

Disparities in stage at diagnosis of head and neck tumours in Brazil: a comprehensive analysis of hospital-based cancer registries.

Background: The advanced stage of cancer is a determining factor in poor prognosis. Head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC) are highly incident in Brazil, but similarly to many Low and Middle-Income Countries, data is limited regarding the proportion of tumours diagnosed at advanced clinical stages and the main factors associated with it. Therefore, this study aimed to identify the factors associated with advanced stage of HNSCC in Brazil.

Background/purpose: Oral leukoplakia (OLK) and oral lichen planus (OLP) represent two common oral potentially malignant disorders. It would be interesting to know scientific output and characteristics of studies on OLK and OLP.
Materials And Methods: This study aimed to investigate and compare scientometric characteristics of articles on OLK and OLP in the Scopus database, with emphasis on the analysis of the keywords that can reflect research directions and topics of concern.
The relevance of dental management prior to radiation therapy with severe oral mucositis in head and neck cancer patients.

Background/purpose: Dental management prior to radiotherapy is often time-critical, and there are no studies on whether manipulations such as tooth extraction influence the risk of severe radiation-induced oral mucositis (ROM) during radiotherapy. Therefore, the aim of this study was to describe the relationship between dental management and the incidence of severe ROM.
Materials And Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 144 head and neck cancer (HNC) patients who received dental management before radiotherapy at Peking University Cancer Hospital, from January 2016 to December 2017.

The carboxyl-terminus of Hsp70-interacting protein (CHIP) plays crucial roles in tumorigenesis and immunity, with previous studies suggesting a double-edged sword in thyroid cancer. However, its precise functions and underlying molecular mechanisms in thyroid cancer remained unclear. Here, we demonstrate through immunohistochemistry (IHC) that CHIP expression progressively increases from normal thyroid tissue to primary papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) and lymph node metastases, with CHIP levels positively correlating with lymph node metastasis ( = 0.

Integration of human papillomavirus (HPV) into the host genome drives HPV-positive head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HPV HNSCC). Whole-genome sequencing of 51 tumors revealed intratumor heterogeneity of HPV integration, with 44% of breakpoints subclonal, and a biased distribution of integration breakpoints across the HPV genome. Four HPV physical states were identified, with at least 49% of tumors progressing without integration.
