Immunohistochemical expression of DNA methyltransferases 1, 3a, and 3b in actinic cheilitis and lip squamous cell carcinomas
ConclusionsThe results suggested that DNMT 3a could play a key role in the methylation process of initial steps of UV carcinogenesis present in AC while DNMT 3b could be responsible for de novo methylation in already established lip cancer. (Source: Journal of Oral Pathology and Medicine)

Variation in Cancer Incidence among Patients with ESRD during Kidney Function and Nonfunction Intervals
Among patients with ESRD, cancer risk is affected by kidney dysfunction and by immunosuppression after transplant. Assessing patterns across periods of dialysis and kidney transplantation may inform cancer etiology. We evaluated 202,195 kidney transplant candidates and recipients from a linkage between the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients and cancer registries, and compared incidence in kidney function intervals (time with a transplant) with incidence in nonfunction intervals (waitlist or time after transplant failure), adjusting for demographic factors. Incidence of infection-related and immune-related cancer ...

The effects of swallowing disorders, dysgeusia, oral mucositis and xerostomia on nutritional status, oral intake and weight loss in head and neck cancer patients: a systematic review
Head and neck cancer (HNC) is common in several countries around the world, with an estimated number of 300,400 new cases and 145,400 deaths from oral cavity and lip cancer occurred in 2012 [1]. Oral cavity cancers, as well as larynx and pharynx cancer, represent about 10% of all malignancies in men and 4% in women [2]. Some studies [3,4] show that, unfortunately, many HNC patients are diagnosed when the disease is already at an advanced stage (Stage III/IV) and patients suffer conditions of nutritional vulnerability, with a high risk of malnutrition [5–7].

Retrospective Outcome Analysis of 39 Patients Who Underwent Lip Surgery for Cutaneous Carcinoma
Conclusion
Differences between the surgical margins and the final histologic margins were the main finding of this retrospective study. These differences were attributed to surgical practices and modification during the histological process. Nevertheless, we did not observe a higher rate of recurrence or death in our study than in literature. (Source: Journal of Maxillofacial and Oral Surgery)

Correlation between cell cycle proteins and hMSH2 in actinic cheilitis and lip cancer
This study aims to evaluate and verify the relationship between the immunoexpression of hMSH2, p53 and p21 in actinic cheilitis (AC) and lower lip squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) cases. Forty AC and 40 SCC cases were submitted to immunoperoxidase method and quantitatively analyzed. Expression was compared by Mann–Whitney test, Student t test or one-way ANOVA. To correlate the variables, Pearson’s correlation coefficient was calculated. The expression of p53 and p21 showed no significant differences between histopathological grades of AC or lower lip SCC (p > 0.05). Immunoexpression of p53 was higher in SCC than in A...

Neglected giant spinocellular carcinoma of the lower lip.
We present a rare variant of giant form of SCC on the lower lip in a 70-year-old patient, which had been neglected for many years, due to social disadvantages and absence of any resources for adequate medical help, until the tumor caused total inability of administration of food and drink. The recent diagnostic and therapeutic options are considered. Despite well-known etiologic factors regarding squamous cell carcinoma and the newest prognostic factors on tumor differentiation, such as β-catenin abnormal expression, the negative influence of the demographic characteristics of the patient were also in focus. Certain outca...

Conclusion Head and neck tumors are a rare group of clinically and biologically diverse neoplastic diseases. Among the residents of the Chelyabinsk region, men are 2–3 times more susceptible to cancer of the oral cavity and pharynx than women. High mortality rate is due to late referral of patients to specialized clinics; most head and neck cancer patients are diagnosed at advanced stages. (Source: European Journal of Cancer Supplements)

Inferiorly based nasolabial flap for reconstruction of the moderate to large defects of lips following cancer resection
Conclusion
Simplicity of dissection, robust blood supply, best color match, short procedure time, and minimal donor site morbidity reinforce this flap as a useful adjunct in lip reconstruction.
