Squamous cell carcinoma

Next, the squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) also can be considered as one type of carcinoma. This carcinoma is the second most common skin cancer compared to the basal cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma. The incidence of this skin cancer is increasing in some countries especially the United Kingdom. This type of the cancer is cancer that develops from the epithelial cells of the epidermis of the skin. This cancer is usually caused by long-term UV light exposure that can develop in normal skin or in skin

2. Literatures Review 2.1. Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) Oral cancer (OC) includes a group of neoplasms affecting any region of the oral cavity, pharyngeal regions and salivary glands. However, this term tends to be used interchangeably with oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) (Choi and Myers, 2008). Oral SCC is the most common malignant neoplasm of the oral cavity derived from stratified squamous epithelium including lips, buccal mucosa, lower and upper alveolar ridges, retromolar gingiva

Specific Aims Although the worldwide incidence of Head and Neck Squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) has been steadily declining over the past 20 years, it is still the sixth most common cancer by incidence with about 50% of mortality. Traditionally, the most notable risk factors for HNSCC are alcohol consumption and various forms of tobacco use, the combination of the two having a significantly synergistic effect on carcinogenesis. More recently, human papillomavirus (HPV)-associated oropharyngeal cancers

Head and Neck squamous cell carcinoma of oral cavity and oropharynx in children: Report of 10 cases and illustrated review of literature. Introduction Pediatric head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (PHNSCC) (defined as <20 Years) is a rare entity accounting for <2% of all pediatric malignancies put together. [1] In adults these tumors are mostly associated with tobacco abuse or Human papilloma virus [HPV] infection. However, the etiology remains largely unknown for pediatric patients. In comparison

Squamous cell carcinoma is a form of cancer that occurs in the squamous cells, which are located on the surface layer of many organs and is most commonly associated with the epidermis of our skin. However, squamous cells are not only in the tissue that we see on the exterior of the body, but many of the surface tissues on the interior of our body like the oral cavity, lungs, and digestive tract.

Esophageal carcinoma, the eighth most common cancer in the world, includes squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma (Sun, Lin, Chen, Liang, &Hsieh, 2015; American Cancer Society, 2015). Squamous cell carcinoma is simply damaged esophageal cells; however, adenocarcinoma occurs when glandular cells replace squamous cells in the esophagus (American Cancer Society, 2015). While squamous cell carcinoma was once the most common form of esophageal carcinoma in the United States, adenocarcinoma has taken

of infrared micro spectroscopy, a molecular imaging technique, as an adjunct screening tool for cancers such as oral squamous cell carcinoma. Oral squamous cell carcinoma is an invasive group of head and neck cancers, primarily originating in the epithelial layer of oral mucosa as a premalignant lesion. These premalignant lesions, if diagnosed prior to transformation into squamous cancer, could be treated with minimally invasive procedures and in many cases their progression can be arrested. This

Squamous Cell Carcinoma, also referred to as SCC, is a growth of abnormal cells that forms in squamous cells. It is the second most common type of skin cancer and it is uncontrollable. Since squamous cells make up most of the outer and upper skin layer, the epidermis, SCC is very dangerous and one of the easier skin cancers to develop (Skin Cancer Foundation). It is defined as being a non-melanoma or keratinocytic type of skin cancer, meaning it does not form any melanoma -- dark-pigmented tumors

Review of her medical record indicates that she has recurrent squamous cell carcinoma of the right side of face with chemo, radiation. s/p discharged from moffit cancer center on 7/21/16 due to recurrent carcinoma to face with rejection of skin graft. In route to rehab she became combative and agitated and was sent to ER. She was baker acted due to suicidal ideation and evaluated by psych. her records indicate that she have had significant functional declined over the last several months with anorexia

Comprehensive genomic characterization of head and neck squamous cell carcinomas: The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) reported 279 HNSCCs, and provides a comprehensive landscape of somatic genomic mutations (The cancer genome atlas network, 2015). In this 172 patients were identified with oral cavity, 33 oropharynx and 72 laryngeal sites, and most patients were male with heavy smokers. Patient samples were classified as HPV-positive test that showed 36 tumors were HPV (+) and 243 were HPV (-). Majorly
