Prevalence of chromosome 8p11.2 translocations and correlation with myeloid and lymphoid neoplasms associated with FGFR1 abnormalities in a consecutive cohort from nine institutions in Japan.

Abstract
Myeloid and lymphoid neoplasms associated with FGFR1 abnormalities (MLN-FGFR1 abnormalities) are rare hematologic malignancies associated with chromosome 8p11.2 abnormalities. Translocations of 8p11.2 were detected in 10 of 17,039 (0.06%) unique patient cytogenetic studies performed at nine institutions in Japan. No inversions or insertions of 8p11.2 were detected. Among the 10 patients with 8p11.2 translocations, three patients were diagnosed with MLN-FGFR1 abnormalities, which were confirmed by FISH analysis. Peripheral blood eosinophilia was observed in all three patients, and all progressed to AML or T-lymphoblastic lymphoma/leukemia. The prevalence of 8p11.2 translocations in clinical practice and the proportion of MLN-FGFR1 abnormalities in patients with 8p11.2 translocations in Japan were consistent with those in previous reports from Western countries.

Clinicopathological and prognostic value of chemokine receptor CCR7 expression in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Expert Rev Anticancer Ther 2023; 23:443-453.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to identify the clinicopathological characteristics and prognostic value of CC chemokine receptor 7 (CCR7) expression in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSSC). METHODS The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines were followed in this meta-analysis. Up to the 2nd of July 2022 a search was conducted using five databases: PubMed, Embase, Scopus, ProQuest, and Web of Science. The methodological standards for the epidemiological research scale were used to assess the quality of the included articles, and Stata software was used to synthesise the meta-analysis. RESULTS We considered 13 of the 615 studies which included 1005 HNSCC patients. High expression of CCR7 increased the pooled odds ratio (OR) of advanced stage, tumour size, metastasis and recurrence by 2.82 [95% confidence interval (CI) 1.84 to 4.33], 2.48 (95% CI 1.68, to 3.67), 3.57, 95% CI 2.25 to 5.05) and 3.93 (95% CI 2.03 to 7.64), respectively. High CCR7 reduced overall patient survival [hazard ratio 2.62 (95% CI 1.59 to 4.32)]. CONCLUSION This study showed that high expression of CCR7 in HNSCC tumours was significantly associated with worse clinicopathological and survival outcomes, suggesting that CCR7 and its pathway could be potential therapeutic strategies for HNSCC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 is a potential prognostic factor for tongue squamous cell carcinoma and is associated with oral epithelial dysplasia grade in oral leukoplakia. METHODS Thirty cases of tongue squamous cell carcinoma and 30 cases of oral leukoplakia were analyzed. Fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 and phosphorylated Akt protein expression were analyzed by immunohistochemistry and quantified using a digital algorithm. Fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 gene amplification was analyzed by fluorescent in situ hybridization in the tongue squamous cell carcinoma cases. RESULTS Clinical appearance and dysplasia grade were correlated with oral leukoplakia malignant transformation. Oral leukoplakia cases presenting high fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 expression showed a higher risk of malignant transformation (p = 0.016, HR: 7.3, 95% CI: 1.4-37.4). Phosphorylated Akt showed faint to no expression in oral leukoplakia, which did not correlate with dysplasia grade or malignant transformation. High expression of fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 and phosohorylated Akt were associated with poor overall survival and disease-free survival in tongue squamous cell carcinoma, although only fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 expression was significantly associated with poor overall survival (p = 0.024; HR: 4.9, 95% CI: 1.2-19.9). Cases presenting double fibroblast growth factor receptor 1/phosphorylated Akt overexpression (n = 8) showed markedly impaired overall survival (p = 0.020; HR: 6.4, 95% CI: 1.3-31.1) and disease-free survival (p = 0.001, HR: 13.0, 95% CI: 3.0-55.7). Fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 amplification was observed in 16.6% of tongue squamous cell carcinoma cases, being correlated with vascular and neural invasion (p = 0.001 and 0.017, respectively), but not with fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 protein expression, overall survival, or disease-free survival. CONCLUSION Fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 protein expression is an important prognostic factor in oral leukoplakia and tongue squamous cell carcinoma.

Abstract
Head and neck cancer (HNC) concerns more than 890,000 patients worldwide annually and is associated with the advanced stage at presentation and heavy outcomes. Alcohol drinking, together with tobacco smoking, and human papillomavirus infection are the main recognized risk factors. The tumorigenesis of HNC represents an intricate sequential process that implicates a gradual acquisition of genetic and epigenetics alterations targeting crucial pathways regulating cell growth, motility, and stromal interactions. Tumor microenvironment and growth factors also play a major role in HNC. Alcohol toxicity is caused both directly by ethanol and indirectly by its metabolic products, with the involvement of the oral microbiota and oxidative stress; alcohol might enhance the exposure of epithelial cells to carcinogens, causing epigenetic modifications, DNA damage, and inaccurate DNA repair with the formation of DNA adducts. Long-term markers of alcohol consumption, especially those detected in the hair, may provide crucial information on the real alcohol drinking of HNC patients. Strategies for prevention could include food supplements as polyphenols, and alkylating drugs as therapy that play a key role in HNC management. Indeed, polyphenols throughout their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory actions may counteract or limit the toxic effect of alcohol whereas alkylating agents inhibiting cancer cells' growth could reduce the carcinogenic damage induced by alcohol. Despite the established association between alcohol and HNC, a concerning pattern of alcohol consumption in survivors of HNC has been shown. It is of primary importance to increase the awareness of cancer risks associated with alcohol consumption, both in oncologic patients and the general population, to provide advice for reducing HNC prevalence and complications.
