Association of Herpes simplex infection with significantly increased risk of head and neck cancer: real-world evidence of about 500,000 patients
CONCLUSION: The surprisingly strong correlation with lip, oral cavity, and pharynx neoplasms sheds new light on supposedly harmless herpes simplex infections, suggesting them as a possible new factor for risk stratification.PMID:38643367 | DOI:10.1111/ijd.17196 (Source: Herpes)

Radiation-associated changes in saliva composition of head and neck cancer patients: A systematic review
Head and neck squamous cell cancer accounts for approximately 4.5% of the newly diagnosed malignancies worldwide, with over 878,000 new cases in 2020 (including lip cancer) [1]. The incidence is rising, especially due to HPV associated head and neck cancer and is expected to increase by 30% until 2030 [2]. Compared to non-HPV related head and neck cancer, often induced by heavy alcohol consumption and/or smoking, the HPV-positive patients usually have a good prognosis after therapy, even with advanced stages of disease at diagnosis.

Unusual Presentation of Squamous Cell Carcinoma in a Young Male: Clinicopathological Insights and Considerations
We present a case of a 21-year-old male student who presented with a painless, gradually increasing, occasionally bleeding, nodulo-ulcerated lower lip lesion. The lesion was removed 3 months back with a carbon dioxide laser, and this was a recurrent lesion. We did lesion biopsy which confirmed squamous cell carcinoma. The patient started treatment at the T2N0M0 stage. Patient has responded well to the radiotherapy treatment. Our case had no known predisposing risk factors for c arcinoma. For etiopathogenesis in this case, role of prior lesion removal with carbon dioxide laser is debatable. As laser treatment does not spa...

“Y” anastomosis, a solution in doubtful venous anastomosis: a case report and review of the literature
ConclusionIn this case, it was decided not to open the first anastomosis but to add the second end to the side one to provide two vascular supports for the venous anastomosis. Y anastomosis makes the surgery easier and decreases complications resulting from vascular size mismatch. (Source: Journal of Medical Case Reports)

Cancers, Vol. 15, Pages 4610: Oral Cavity Cancer Tissues Differ in Isotopic Composition Depending on Location and Staging
zef Kobos
The aim of this paper was to characterise the isotopic composition of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) specimens of different areas of the oral cavity. Secondly, we assessed whether there was a correlation between clinical stages of OSCC and isotopic abundance. The IRMS procedure was performed on 124 samples derived from 31 patients with OSCC of 15 N and 13 C to assess the isotopic composition. From each individual, four samples from the tumour, two from the margins, and two samples of healthy oral mucous membranes were derived. The two samples from the tumour and two samples from the margin were additiona...

Metachronous immune-related adverse events involving type 1 diabetes and isolated adrenocorticotropic hormone deficiency associated with pembrolizumab monotherapy for metastatic head and neck cancer: a case report
ConclusionsThe study presents the first reported case of type 1 diabetes in a patient with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma treated with pembrolizumab monotherapy, in Japan. Efficient interdepartmental collaboration will promote the management of severe immune-related adverse events and improve the quality of life of patients. (Source: Journal of Medical Case Reports)

Surgery and radiation therapy are standard treatments for lip cancer. Surgery includes removal of all cancer-related tissue and facial reconstruction (cosmetic and functional) of the lips. Reconstruction procedures are available but give a less satisfactory cosmetic result than brachytherapy. In addition, the use of high-dose-rate brachytherapy (HDR-BT) is now becoming more popular than low-dose-rate (LDR) and pulsed-dose-rate (PDR) BT in the treatment of lip cancer since HDR-BT offers the advantage of optimizing dose distribution by varying dwell times.

Cancers, Vol. 15, Pages 4079: No Excess Cancer Risk among Veterinarians in Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden after the 1980s

The cancer profile of veterinarians has received little research attention, despite the profession potentially being exposed to a wide range of known and suspected carcinogens. In this large-scale cohort study, we assessed cancer incidence in veterinarians in Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden, across more than 40 years (1961–2005). The cohort comprised 4708 veterinarians and 119,503 person-years at follow-up. The overall cancer incidence in veterinarians was close to the incidence in the total population in all countries and in all age groups. In male veterinarians, th...

Cancer risks in a population-based study of agricultural workers: results from the Taiwan's Farmers and Health Cohort study
CONCLUSIONS: This study provides farmer cancer patterns and risk, adding to the evidence that farmers are at increased risk of certain types of cancer, especially for hematological cancers. As exposure varies by farm operation type, individual farmer exposure may vary widely. Further understanding of the complex relationship between occupational exposure, environmental factors, and lifestyle factors is needed.PMID:37449304 | DOI:10.5271/sjweh.4106 (Source: Scandinavian Journal of Work, Environment and Health)
