[PMID: 37959327 PMCID: PMC10650892 DOI: 10.3390/jcm12216861] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/28/2023] [Revised: 10/26/2023] [Accepted: 10/27/2023] [Indexed: 11/15/2023] Open
Abstract
p16 overexpression is often used as a surrogate marker for human papillomavirus (HPV) infection in oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma but remains an uncertain diagnostic tool for HPV-related sinonasal squamous cell carcinoma (SNSCC). Our study involved 79 consecutive SNSCC patients who were treated at a tertiary referral university hospital during 2006-2021. We retrospectively examined their clinical characteristics and conducted p16 immunohistochemistry and HPV detection. We found that 12.7% of the patients exhibited p16 overexpression, which was significantly more common in the nasal cavity and increased from 2015 onward. The HPV was a high-risk type and viral loads ranged from 4.2 to 1.6 × 106 copies/ng DNA with genome integration. Five-year overall survival (OS) and five-year relapse-free survival (RFS) rates were 74.6% and 69.9%, respectively. Our multivariate analysis showed that T category (T1-4a) and hemoglobin levels (≥13.7) were significant favorable prognostic factors for OS, while T category, performance status, and p16 overexpression were significantly associated with RFS. In patients with p16 overexpression, OS was 100% and RFS was 90%. Our findings suggest that p16 overexpression is a reliable surrogate marker for transcriptionally active HPV infection and predicts a favorable prognosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to analyze the difference of survival rates in paitents with oropharyngeal keratinizing squamous cell carcinoma (KSCC), nonkeratinizing squamous cell carcinoma (NKSCC), basaloid squamous cell carcinoma (BSCC), and papillary squamous cell carcinoma (PSCC). MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients diagnosed with oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma between 2004 and 2015 were collected from the SEER database. Cox proportional hazards models and Kaplan-Meier curves were used for survival analysis. Propensity score matching (PSM) was performed to adjust for the effect of confounding variables. Due to the small sample size of PSCC, this study did not perform PSM between it and other subtypes. RESULTS The 5-year cancer-specific survival (CSS) rate of PSCC was higher than that of KSCC, NKSCC, and BSCC (0.627 vs. 0.812 vs. 0.789 vs. 0.875, P < 0.05); And the CSS rate of KSCC was lower than that of other subtypes both before and after PSM. In addition, the 5-year and 10-year CSS rates of BSCC were not different from NKSCC (P > 0.05), but not as good as NKSCC in the long term (P = 0.028). After PSM, the 5-year, 10-year, and long-term prognosis of BSCC were significantly worse than those of NKSCC (P < 0.001). CONCLUSION The 5-year CSS of PSCC was better than the other three subtypes. The short-term prognosis of BSCC was not significantly different from NKSCC, but the long-term survival was lower than that of NKSCC, and the difference was more obvious after PSM. Meanwhile, the prognosis of KSCC was worst.

Abstract
Cervical cancer is one of the main causes of cancer death all over the world. Most diseases such as cervical epithelial atypical hyperplasia and invasive cervical cancer are closely related to the continuous infection of high-risk types of human papillomavirus. Therefore, the high-risk types of human papillomavirus are the key to the prevention and treatment of cervical cancer. With the accumulation of high-throughput and clinical data, the use of systematic and quantitative methods for mathematical modeling and computational prediction has become more and more important. This paper summarizes the mathematical models and prediction methods of the risk types of human papillomavirus, especially around the key steps such as feature extraction, feature selection, and prediction algorithms. We summarized and discussed the advantages and disadvantages of existing algorithms, which provides a theoretical basis for follow-up research.

Abstract
Background The oral environment has a very complex normal flora and a wide variety of bacteria including lactobacilli. Studies have shown oral microbial flora has important influence in the development of oral cancer. Squamous cell carcinomas account for more than 90% of cancers in oral cavity. Lactobacilli are known as one of the newest methods for the prevention and treatment of cancers. Previous studies on the effects of probiotics on oral cancer cells are very limited, and only two species of Lactobacillus which are not present in the normal oral microflora have been studied. Due to the unknown effects of lactobacilli on oral cancer, this study aimed to investigate the effect of two species of lactobacilli of oral cavity on oral cancer cells. Methods and Materials The effects of the supernatant of two lactobacilli, namely, fermentum and crispatus were studied on HN5-cancer cells. The MTT method was used to study the effects of lactobacilli on inhibition of cancer cell growth. Results The results showed that these lactobacilli do not prevent the progression of oral cancer cells. Moreover, the results showed that the acidic medium had the most effect on reducing the growth of oral cancer cells. Conclusion Due to the different effects of lactobacilli on various cancer types, the effects of two Lactobacillus crispatus and Lactobacillus fermentum on other oral cancer cell lines may be different from what has been reported in this study.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To assess the role of insurance status as a mediator of racial disparities in oropharyngeal cancer outcomes. METHODS This was a population-based retrospective cohort study. Data were extracted from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results 18 database. The study cohort included 11 627 patients diagnosed with oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma between 2010 and 2015. RESULTS The association between black race and increased risk of unresectable disease was slightly attenuated, but persistent, after including insurance status as a covariate (odds ratio [OR] 1.34, 95%CI 1.10-1.63). Likewise, black race was no longer associated with worse disease-specific survival (hazard ratio [HR] 1.11, 95%CI 0.99-1.26), but remained associated with worse overall survival with a slightly decreased effect size (HR 1.13, 95%CI 1.01-1.25). CONCLUSIONS Insurance status plays a significant role in, but does not completely account for, the persistent racial disparities in oropharyngeal cancer outcomes.

Risk and outcomes for second primary human papillomavirus-related and -unrelated head and neck malignancy. Laryngoscope 2018; 129:1828-1835. [PMID: 30582167 DOI: 10.1002/lary.27634] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/03/2018] [Revised: 09/12/2018] [Accepted: 10/03/2018] [Indexed: 11/07/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS To 1) examine the characteristics of patients who develop second primary malignancies (SPMs) from an index human papillomavirus (HPV)-related head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) and HPV-unrelated HNSCC and to 2) compare overall survival between those with HPV-related and HPV-unrelated index HNSCC among patients who develop SPM. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective cohort analysis. METHODS A retrospective study was conducted of 113,259 patients who were diagnosed with HNSCC from 2000 to 2014. SPM was defined as the first subsequent primary cancer occurring at least 2 months after index cancer diagnosis, and HPV-relatedness was based on whether patients' index HNSCC was potentially HPV-related or HPV-unrelated. Multivariable Fine and Gray (FG) competing-risks regression models were used to estimate factors associated with risk of SPM by HPV-relatedness. Among patients with SPM, an adjusted Cox proportional hazards (PH) regression model was used to assess the association between HPV-relatedness and survival. RESULTS Approximately 13,900 patients (12.3%) developed SPM. In the FG model, patients with HPV-unrelated HNSCC had a 15% higher risk of developing SPM (adjusted hazard ratio: 1.15, 95% confidence interval: 1.10-1.20) than those with potentially HPV-related HNSCC, but the same characteristics were associated with SPM development. In the Cox PH model, patients with SPM whose index HNSCC was HPV-unrelated had higher risk of death than those whose index HNSCC was potentially HPV-related (adjusted hazard ratio: 1.06; 95% confidence interval: 1.02-1.11). CONCLUSIONS Patients with HPV-unrelated HNSCC have a higher risk of SPM development than do those with HPV-related HNSCC. Effective secondary disease-prevention strategies should be established to improve long-term patient outcomes. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE NA Laryngoscope, 129:1828-1835, 2019.
