Objectives: To identify the immunohistochemical pattern of non-tumoral epithelium adjacent to lip cancer (ANTE) to unveil molecular alterations and potential biomarkers in lip cancer patients.
Materials And Methods: A systematic search at MEDLINE, EMBASE and proceedings Web of Science, OpenGrey and WorldCat. The PICOS outline (Population: lip cancer patients; Intervention: immunostaining with biomarkers in surgical specimens; Comparisons: ANTE versus LC; Outcomes: primary-to identify the immunohistochemical pattern of peritumoral epithelium and secondary-to assess the immunoreactivity of LC epithelium; and Study design: cross-sectional, case-control and cohort studies).
Results: A total of 339 records were identified. Seven studies reporting on ANTE and LCs were included in the qualitative synthesis, and 4 of them (p53 immunostaining) were selected for meta-analysis. In the ANTE group, the pooled prevalence of p53 was 0.74 (95% CI: 0.66 - 0.82), while in the lip squamous cell carcinoma group this prevalence was 0.83 (95% CI: 0.75 - 0.89).
Conclusions: Similar immunoexpression was found in lip epithelium adjacent to lip carcinoma, even in epithelia with normal appearance or mild histological alterations. The role of biomarkers in the follow-up of actinic cheilitis patients deserves additional clinical assessment.

: (PG) has been widely researched as a conductant drug for the treatment of lung diseases by ancient and modern traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) practitioners. Inspired by the mechanism and our previous finding about fructans and fructooligosaccharides from (FFPG), we developed a nano drug delivery system (NDDS) targeting lung cancer. The aim was to improve the efficiency of the liposomal delivery of Paclitaxel (PTX) and enhance the anti-tumor efficacy.

: Defects in maxillary and mandibular continuity are common in maxillofacial practice. They can occur after trauma, osteonecrosis, congenital jaw deformities, or surgical resection of benign or malignant tumours. Reconstruction with microvascular bone flaps and subsequent prosthetic rehabilitation is considered the contemporary first line treatment.

: Surgical treatment of extensive tumors of the lower lip generates important defects in its structure and functions. Over time, a multitude of reconstruction options for these defects have been imagined. Unfortunately, the majority involve the use of both local and regional flaps, which either lack labial structure or disorganize the oral commissures as nodal oral function points.

Background: Lung cancer (LC) is the second most lethal cancer and efficient treatments are missing. Our understanding of the underlying pathogenic mechanisms remains limited. Oridonin is a compound extracted from the Chinese herb Rabdosia rubescens with anticancer properties.

Objectives: The aim of this study is to estimate the economic burden of oral cancer in Australia from the societal perspective.
Methods: The population consisted of the prevalence of lip and oral cavity cancer, and other lip, oral cavity, and pharynx cancers for ages 40 years and older. Healthcare costs of oral cancer were estimated using 2019-2020 Australian Disease Expenditure Data.
