Laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) is one of the most common malignant tumors in the head and neck area. Melanoma-associated antigens A (MAGE-A) are strictly tumor-specific and are expressed in several types of tumors. To date, no studies have reported the potential of genes as markers for circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in patients with LSCC. The present study aimed to evaluate the expression and the possible prognostic significance of in the peripheral blood of patients with LSCC. In the present study, the expression of genes was determined by multiplex semi-nested PCR and restriction endonuclease treatment of the peripheral blood of patients with LSCC. The association between gene expression and clinicopathological parameters and prognosis was evaluated. The results demonstrated that the expression of was associated with the predictors that indicate poor prognosis. The expression levels of and each individual gene were also associated with a shorter overall survival time of patients with LSCC. In conclusion, the results of the present study suggested that the expression of genes may be a potential prognostic marker for patients with LSCC.

Prognostic value of lymph node metrics in lung squamous cell carcinoma: an analysis of the SEER database.

Introduction: Although the Tumor-Node-Metastasis (TNM) staging system is widely used for staging lung squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC), the TNM system primarily emphasizes tumor size and metastasis, without adequately considering lymph node involvement. Consequently, incorporating lymph node metastasis as an additional prognostic factor is essential for predicting outcomes in LSCC patients.

Methods: This retrospective study included patients diagnosed with LSCC between 2004 and 2018 and was based on data from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database of the National Cancer Institute.

Purpose: Over the last 40 years, there has been an unusual trend where, even though there are more varied treatments, survival rates have not improved much. Our study used survival analysis and machine learning (ML) to investigate this odd situation and to improve prediction methods for treating non-metastatic LSCC.

Methods: The surveillance, epidemiology and end results (SEER) database provided the data used for this study's analysis.

Background: The disease and mortality rates of patients with laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) stabilize after peaking at the age of 60 years. This study aimed to identify risk factors associated with early death (death within 6 months) in elderly (≥60 years) patients with LSCC and to establish predictive nomograms to aid clinicians in developing individualized treatment plans.

Methods: Data pertaining to elderly patients with LSCC between 2004 and 2015 was obtained from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database (version 8.

Laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) is a common malignant tumor of the head and neck that significantly impacts patients' quality of life, with chemotherapy resistance notably affecting prognosis. This study aims to identify prognostic biomarkers to optimize treatment strategies for LSCC. Using data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO), combined with mitochondrial gene database analysis, we identified mitochondrial lncRNAs associated with drug resistance genes.

Purpose: In the present study, the findings related to the epidemiology, clinical presentation, and therapeutic outcomes of elderly patients treated with transoral laser microsurgery (TOLM) and transoral robotic surgery (TORS) for supraglottic laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) have been reviewed.

Methods: A PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Scopus literature search was conducted according to the PRISMA statements. Critical literature analysis was carried out considering the last advancement in TOLS and TORS, and their related surgical, functional, and survival outcomes.
