Abstract
OBJECTIVES The interaction between tumor cells and stroma is critical in tumorigenesis, tumor neo-angiogenesis and cancer progression. The aims of this study were to: (i) evaluate the concordance between tumor-stroma ratio (TSR) and microvascular density (MVD) on paired biopsy and surgical specimens of laryngeal carcinoma (LSCC); (ii) investigate the association of TSR with angiogenesis (CD105- and CD31-assessed MVD); (iii) assess the prognostic role of TSR and MVD evaluated on preoperative biopsies and paired surgical specimens. METHODS TSR, CD105- and CD31-assessed MVD were analyzed in paired biopsies and surgical specimens of 43 consecutive cases. RESULTS TSR showed good agreement between biopsies and surgical specimens (AC1 statistic: 0.7957). In biopsies, TSR low/stroma-rich cases showed higher CD105-assessed MVD (p = 0.0380). In surgical specimens both median CD105- and CD31-assessed MVD were significantly higher in TSR low/stroma-rich than in TSR high/stroma-poor patients (p = 0.0089 and p = 0.0391). In the univariate Cox's model, TSR predicted disease-free survival (DFS) in both biopsies and surgical specimens (p = 0.0003 and p = 0.0002). DFS was associated with CD105- and CD31-assessed MVD in biopsies (p < 0.0001 for both) and surgical specimens (p < 0.0001 for both). Considering biopsies, the multivariate analysis found both TSR (p = 0.0032; HR = 6.112, 95%CI: 1.833-20.378) and CD105-assessed MVD (p = 0.0002; HR = 1.201, 95%CI: 1.090-1.322) as DFS predictor. In paired surgical specimens, both TSR (p = 0.0074; HR = 6.137, 95%CI: 1.626-23.172) and CD105-assessed MVD (p = 0.0005; HR = 1.172 95 %CI 1.071-1.282) retained their significance in multivariate analysis. CONCLUSIONS If confirmed by large prospective studies, TSR and MVD could be proposed as prognostic biomarkers of LSCC for a possible treatment intensification or targeted therapy.

Abstract
Disregarding the widely used division of skull base into anterior and lateral, since the skull base should be conceived as a single anatomic structure, it was to our convenience to group all those approaches that run from the antero-lateral, pure lateral and postero-lateral side of the skull base as “Surgery of the lateral skull base”. “50 years of endeavour” points to the great effort which has been made over the last decades, when more and more difficult surgeries were performed by reducing morbidity. The principle of lateral skull base surgery, “remove skull base bone to approach the base itself and the adjacent sites of the endo-esocranium”, was then combined with function preservation and with tailoring surgery to the pathology. The concept that histology dictates the extent of resection, balancing the intrinsic morbidity of each approach was the object of the first section of the present report. The main surgical approaches were described in the second section and were conceived not as a step-by-step description of technique, but as the highlighthening of the surgical principles. The third section was centered on open issues related to the tumor and its treatment. The topic of vestibular schwannoma was investigated with the current debate on observation, hearing preservation surgery, hearing rehabilitation, radiotherapy and the recent efforts to detect biological markers able to predict tumor growth. Jugular foramen paragangliomas were treated in the frame of radical or partial surgery, radiotherapy, partial “tailored” surgery and observation. Surgery on meningioma was debated from the point of view of the neurosurgeon and of the otologist. Endolymphatic sac tumors and malignant tumors of the external auditory canal were also treated, as well as chordomas, chondrosarcomas and petrous bone cholesteatomas. Finally, the fourth section focused on free-choice topics which were assigned to aknowledged experts. The aim of this work was attempting to report the state of the art of the lateral skull base surgery after 50 years of hard work and, above all, to raise questions on those issues which still need an answer, as to allow progress in knowledge through sharing of various experiences. At the end of the reading, if more doubts remain rather than certainties, the aim of this work will probably be achieved.

Abstract
Temporal bone squamous cell carcinoma (TBSCC) is an uncommon, aggressive malignancy with a poor prognosis in advanced cases. The dismal outcome is partially related to: the lack of reliable clinical or pathological prognostic factors and the largely unstandardized surgical and integrated treatments adopted. There is an undeniable need for novel diagnostic/therapeutic strategies to improve the prognosis. The purpose of this critical review was to explore the level of available knowledge concerning the molecular markers involved in the biology of TBSCC that have a prognostic potential. The Pub-Med and Scopus electronic databases were searched without publication date limits for studies investigating molecular markers in cohorts of patients with primary TBSCC. The search terms used were: "temporal bone cancer", "temporal bone carcinoma", "temporal bone malignancy", "ear cancer", "ear carcinoma", and "ear malignancy". We decided preliminarily not to consider series with less than five cases. Nine retrospective case series of TBSCC were found in which different analytical techniques had been used to study the role of several biomarkers (HPV, vimentin, transforming growth factor β, CD105, RECK, matrix metalloproteinase-9, MASPIN, EBV, p16, TP53 mutation, pSTAT3, relaxin-2). CD105 expression (in tumor vessel endothelial cells) and MASPIN cytoplasmic expression (in carcinoma cells) were, respectively, found directly and inversely related with the neoplasm's recurrence rate. CD105 expression was also inversely related with disease-free survival in TBSCC. A future goal of such analyses should be to ascertain the radio- and chemo-sensitivity profiles of individual TBSCCs, enabling truly personalized therapies. A further, more ambitious goal will be to find targets for therapeutic agents that might prove crucial in improving the disease-specific survival for patients with advanced TBSCC.
