Integrated Single-cell and Bulk RNA Sequencing Analysis Cross Talk between Ferroptosis-related Genes and Prognosis in Oral Cavity Squamous Cell Carcinoma
CONCLUSION: We successfully constructed a novel 6 FRGs model and identified a prognostic immune cell, which can serve to predict clinical prognoses for OCSCC. Ferroptosis may be a new direction for immunotherapy of OCSCC.PMID:38214321 | DOI:10.2174/1574892818666230602112042 (Source: Recent Patents on Anti-Cancer Drug Discovery)

Genetically predicted circulating levels of cytokines and the risk of oral cavity and pharyngeal cancer: a bidirectional mendelian-randomization study
Conclusion: Our study systematically assessed the association between inflammatory cytokines and the risk of OCPC. We identified two upstream regulatory factors (IL-7 and CCL3) and one downstream effector factor (IL-4) that were associated with OCPC, offering potential avenues for the development of novel treatments.

Predicting therapeutic responses in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma from < em > TP53 < /em > mutation detected by cell-free DNA
CONCLUSIONS: TP53 mutation could be used as a specific predictor of treatment response in patients with HNSCC. Using cfDNA to detect the TP53 mutations in patients with HSNCC is a feasible method. The results suggested that the therapeutic response in patients could be predicted by detecting TP53 mutations in cfDNA, and large-scale and prospective studies are needed to validate this hypothesis.PMID:38197078 | PMC:PMC10774070 | DOI:10.21037/tcr-23-878 (Source: Cell Research)

Clinical and pathological correlation of P < sup > 53 < /sup > expression in oral cancers
Pathol Res Pract. 2023 Dec 29;253:155071. doi: 10.1016/j.prp.2023.155071. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIn our study, we aimed to evaluate the overexpression of P53 in 155 oral squamous cell carcinomas and to correlate with various clinicopathological features like depth of invasion, lymph nodal involvement, and margin status, which affect the local recurrence and prognosis. This cross-sectional study included 155 oral squamous cell carcinoma patients who underwent surgical resection of primary and nodal disease. The histopathological and clinical features were noted. Immunohistochemical expression was reported, and other ...

Development and validation of a nomogram to predict cervical lymph node metastasis in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma
ConclusionsWe established a good prediction model for cervical lymph node metastasis in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma patients which can provide reference value and auxiliary diagnosis for clinicians in making neck management decisions of HNSCC patients. (Source: Frontiers in Oncology)

In reply to the Letter to the Editor regarding “Management of the neck in T1 and T2 buccal squamous cell carcinoma”
We thank the authors of the Letter to the Editor for their interest in our recently published study on neck management in early stage (T1 –2) buccal squamous cell carcinoma1. We agree with the authors’ emphasis on the importance of regional control in this high-risk group of patients. Based on the current literature, the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines on cancer of the oral cavity have not been able to issu e a definitive recommendation on the role of adjuvant therapy in pN1 disease2.

Is elective neck dissection justified in cT2N0M0 oral cavity cancer defined according to the AJCC eighth edition staging system?
ConclusionsBy implementing risk stratification within the NO group, we found that 26% (251/979) of low-risk patients achieved outcomes similar to those in the END group. Therefore, when making decisions regarding the implementation of END in patients with cT2N0M0 OCSCC, factors such as DOI and tumor differentiation should be taken into account.
