JOURNAL OF STOMATOLOGY, ORAL AND MAXILLOFACIAL SURGERY 2024:102070. [PMID: 39255915 DOI: 10.1016/j.jormas.2024.102070] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/28/2024] [Accepted: 09/07/2024] [Indexed: 09/12/2024]
Abstract
Occult metastasis is not easily detected clinically or radiographically. Various methods have been applied for neck control for clinically N0 via elective neck dissection (END), wait and watch (W&W) and sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB). The main aim of this study is to investigate the prevalence of occult cervical lymph nodes metastasis in cN0 in oral squamous cell carcinoma, to investigate and compare the disease-free state and overall survival rate between occult metastasis and the non-occult group that presented at the oral and maxillofacial surgery clinic, Faculty of Dentistry, Universiti Malaya. This is a retrospective study involving 48 patients with complete data from 2008 to 2019. Data collected includes socio-demographic and clinicopathologic factors. Descriptive analysis was performed and Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to compare disease-free status and overall survival period between occult and non-occult metastases groups. The prevalence of occult metastasis in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) was low at 8.3% but it became 100% on OSCC tongue. The main tumor site for occult metastasis originated from the oral tongue with T2 size. Non-occult group had better overall survival rate comparing to occult metastasis group and the advanced group. Therefore, END is recommended particularly for N0 OSCC tongue.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Biomarkers are biochemical indicators that can identify changes in the structure or function of systems, organs, or cells and can be used to monitor a wide range of biological processes, including cancer. Interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL1RA) is an important inflammatory suppressor gene and tumor biomarker. The goal of this study was to investigate the expression of IL1RA, its probable carcinogenic activity, and its diagnostic targets in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). RESULTS We discovered that IL1RA was expressed at a low level in OSCC tumor tissues compared to normal epithelial tissues and that the expression declined gradually from epithelial hyperplasia through dysplasia to carcinoma in situ and invasive OSCC. Low IL1RA expression was associated not only with poor survival but also with various clinicopathological markers such as increased infiltration, recurrence, and fatalities. Following cellular phenotyping investigations in OSCC cells overexpressing IL1RA, we discovered that recovering IL1RA expression decreased OSCC cell proliferation, migration, and increased apoptosis. CONCLUSIONS In summary, our investigation highlighted the possible involvement of low-expression IL1RA in OSCC cells in promoting invasive as well as metastatic and inhibiting apoptosis, as well as the efficacy of IL1RA-focused monitoring in the early detection and treatment of OSCC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to determine the oncologic outcomes and identify prognostic factors in patients undergoing salvage glossectomy for recurrent oral tongue squamous cell carcinoma (OTSCC). METHODS A retrospective chart review was conducted encompassing all patients who underwent salvage oral glossectomy out of 259 individuals undergoing oral glossectomy at a tertiary academic center. Inclusion criteria comprised patients who met the following conditions: 1) biopsy-proven oral tongue recurrence, 2) salvage glossectomy performed with curative intent, 3) availability of imaging records, and 4) comprehensive documentation. Cases involving base of tongue tumors and second primaries were excluded from the analysis. Categorical data were expressed as proportions, and continuous data as medians/quartiles. Univariate analysis used Fisher's exact test for categorical variables and Student's t-test for continuous ones. Survival analysis employed Kaplan-Meier estimates and the log-rank test. RESULTS High-risk histopathological risk factors were significantly more common with recurrence compared to initial presentation. The mean locoregional disease-free interval was 35 months. Kaplan-Meier estimates for one- and three-year disease-free survival (DFS) were 62.7% and 33.4%, while disease-specific survival (DSS) rates were 73% and 38.9%, respectively. Recurrent T-stage was a predictor for DFS, while margin status was a strong predictor for both LR control (p = 0.024) and DSS (p = 0.030), as was perineural invasion (p = 0.001 and p = 0.030). Alcohol use was associated with worse overall survival (p = 0.024). In contrast to other reports, nodal status was not a predictor in this series. CONCLUSIONS Upon recurrence, histopathological analysis unveils detrimental changes in tumor biology, which significantly influence disease control. Notably, consistent with findings from other studies, factors, such as recurrent T-stage, presence of perineural invasion, and, most importantly, margin status, play pivotal roles in determining oncologic outcomes. Consequently, the imperative for aggressive salvage surgery becomes evident in achieving sufficient disease control. This underscores the necessity for proactive management strategies aimed at addressing these factors to enhance patient outcomes.

Abstract
Introduction The lymph node status is a very important prognostic factor in head-and-neck cancer. The presence of metastatic lymph nodes will reduce the overall survival by 50%. Lymph node ratio (LNR) is defined as the ratio of the number of positive lymph nodes to the total number of lymph nodes dissected. The aim of the study was to investigate the prognostic value of LNR in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Materials and Methods Medical records of pathologically confirmed OSCC patients who reported with loco-regional recurrence from January 2017 to January 2022 were analysed. LNR and disease-free survival (DFS) were calculated for each patient. The endpoint of the study was disease-free survival. Spearman's correlation was used to establish a correlation between DFS and LNR. Results A total of 33 patients were included in the study. DFS was calculated for all the patients. LNR was calculated in patients with pathological N+ neck. There was a negative significant moderate correlation between LNR and DFS (Spearman's rho = -0.593, P < 0.001). A higher LNR value of more than 0.01 was associated with a shorter DFS period. T4 tumour stage had significantly higher LNR. A positive significant moderate correlation was found between LNR and tumour stage (Spearman's rho = 0.703, P = 0.01). As the T stage increased, the LNR ratio also increased. In the present study, tumour subsite tongue was associated with significantly higher LNR (P = 0.001). Discussion LNR can be considered an independent prognostic parameter for DFS in OSCC patients with cervical lymph node metastasis.

Abstract
The diagnostic accuracy of up-front 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) for detecting cervical lymph node metastases in patients with T1-T2 oral squamous cell carcinoma is reported with large discrepancies across the literature. We investigated the sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive value, and accuracy of up-front PET/CT for detecting cervical lymph node metastases in this patient group and compared the performance to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). In this prospective cohort study, 76 patients with T1-T2 oral squamous cell carcinoma underwent an up-front PET/CT and MRI at the Odense University Hospital from September 2013 to February 2016. Sentinel node biopsy and elective neck dissection were used for histopathological verification of the imaging modalities. Up-front PET/CT was significantly more sensitive than neck MRI (74% vs. 27%, p = 0.0001), but less specific (60% vs. 88%, p = 0.001). The accuracy of PET/CT and neck MRI was comparable (66% vs. 63%, p = 0.85), the PPV was slightly in favor of neck MRI (56% vs. 62%, p = 0.73), the NPV was slightly in favor of PET/CT (77% vs. 63%, p = 0.16). Neither PET/CT nor neck MRI should stand alone for N-staging T1-T2 oral cavity cancer.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have attracted attention as non-invasive cancer biomarkers in various cancers; however, they have not been adequately investigated in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). This study investigated the diagnostic performance of serum-derived miRNAs at initial diagnosis for primary neck lymph node metastasis and the predictive performance for late neck lymph node metastasis based on long-term (up to approximately 8 years) follow-up of patients with OSCC. The expression of miRNAs in 40 patients with OSCC was quantified using real-time PCR (qPCR), and a comprehensive statistical analysis of the correlation of miRNA expression for primary and late neck lymph node metastases was performed. For the diagnosis of primary neck lymph node metastases, miR-423 and miR-125 were accurate. The miRNA index for primary metastasis diagnosis (miR-PM) calculated by regression analysis showed high diagnostic accuracy. The miR-5100 was useful for predicting late neck lymph node metastases. The miRNA index for late metastasis prediction (miR-LM) calculated using regression analysis showed high prediction accuracy. MiRNAs were useful for diagnosing primary neck lymph node metastases in OSCC and predicting late neck lymph node metastases. It may help to consider individualized treatment, including follow-up, surgical methods, and postoperative management.

Abstract
Nitin KhuntetaObjectives The aim is to study the patterns of lymph node metastasis from various sites in oral cavity cancer and determine the risk factors for metastasis. Materials and Methods It is a prospective observational study. The inclusion criteria were-245 patients of carcinoma buccal mucosa, anterior two-thirds of tongue, hard palate, oral surface of soft palate, floor of mouth, vestibule, and alveolus. The exclusion criteria were-patients who had received preoperative chemotherapy or radiotherapy and patients with recurrent disease. Statistical Methods All data were analyzed using SPSS 18.0 and Graphpad prism 7 software for statistical analysis. Count data have been expressed as percentages (%). The χ 2 test was used for univariate analysis of the risk factors of cervical lymph node metastasis. The odds ratio value (with 95% confidence interval) was used to express the risk of cervical lymph node metastasis. p -Value of <0.05 was considered as the difference with statistical significance. Results The most common site involved was buccal mucosa. Patterned lymph node metastasis was seen in 93.5% cases. Skip metastasis was seen in 4.31% cases. Level I b was the most common site of nodal involvement for all primary subsites of oral cavity cancer. The incidence of positive nodes on histopathological analysis was highest in cases of lower alveolus (63.15%), followed by tongue. Conclusion In our study, patterns of lymph node metastasis for oral cavity cancer were comparable to other studies with large number of subjects. The incidence of skip metastasis or aberrant status was low. On multivariate analysis, depth of invasion of tumor, pathologic grade, pathologic T stage, and morphologic type of growth were found to be independent predictors of risk for metastasis.

Abstract
To determine the prevalence of skip metastases in Oral-squamous-cell-carcinoma (OSCC). This prospective observational study was carried out on 100-cases of biopsy proven OSCC who underwent surgical treatment for the primary tumor along with neck dissection (ND). Data regarding depth of invasion (DOI) by primary tumor, perineural-invasion, lymphovascular-invasion, presence of metastatic-lymph-node (level, size, number and extranodal-extension) were collected from histopathology reports and were analyzed. Out of 100-cases, 73-were-male and 27-were-female. Mean age was 49.5 ± 12.3 years (range 24-4 years). Common subsites of tumor were buccal-mucosa, tongue and lower-alveolus in 40, 37 and 14% respectively. Pathological staging of tumor were stage-I, stage-II, stage-III, stage-IVa and stage-IVb in 22, 14, 25, 22 and 15% cases respectively. Preoperative neck staging was cN0 in 50 necks (47.2%) and cN+ in 56 necks (52.8%). In 100-patients 106-NDs (unilateral-94 and bilateral-6) were performed. Type of NDs were Supraomohyoid, extended-Supraomohyoid and modified radical neck-dissection in 23,07and76 cases respectively. Prevalence of cervical lymph node metastases was 36% (pN + necks). Among 36pN + patients; 25 (69.4%) cases, 20 (55.5%) cases, 9 (25%) cases, 4 (11.1%) cases, 2 (5.5%) cases had metastases to level-I, II, III, IV and V respectively. Skip-metastases was present in four-cases {level-IIb:one-case (2.78%), level-III: two-cases (5.5%) and level-V:one-case (2.78%)}. No-skip-metastasis to level-IV was noticed. All-four-cases of skip-metastases were from advance cases of squamous-cell-carcinoma of tongue with DOI > 5 mm. Skip-metastases to levels IIb, IV and V are uncommon in cases of OSCC. Most of the metastasis in our study was noted to levels I, II and III in a predictable fashion. Thus, extensive ND can be avoided in patients to prevent complications and morbidities associated with the same.

Abstract
Lymph node metastasis is associated with poor prognosis of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), and few studies have explored the relevance of postoperative lymphatic drainage (PLD) in metastatic OSCC. Alpha-enolase (ENO1) is a metabolic enzyme, which is related to lymphatic metastasis of OSCC. However, the role of ENO1 in PLD in metastatic OSCC has not been elucidated. Herein, we collected lymphatic drainage after lymphadenectomy between metastatic and non-metastatic lymph nodes in OSCC patients to investigate the relationship between ENO1 expression and metastasis, and to identify the proteins which interacted with ENO1 in PLD of patients with metastatic OSCC by MS/GST pulldown assay. Results revealed that the metabolic protein apolipoprotein C-III (ApoC3) was a novel partner of ENO1. The ENO1 bound to ApoC3 in OSCC cells and elicited the production of interleukin (IL)-8, as demonstrated through a cytokine antibody assay. We also studied the function of IL-8 on Jurkat T cells co-cultured with OSCC cells in vitro. Western blot analysis was applied to quantitate STAT3 (signal transducer and activator of transcription 3) and p-STAT3 levels. Mechanistically, OSCC cells activated the STAT3 signaling pathway on Jurkat T cells through IL-8 secretion, promoted apoptosis, and inhibited the proliferation of Jurkat T cells. Collectively, these findings illuminate the molecular mechanisms underlying the function of ENO1 in metastasis OSCC and provide new strategies for targeting ENO1 for OSCC treatment.

Abstract
Photothermal therapy (PTT) has drawn extensive attention owing to its noninvasive and great tissue penetration depth. However, the physical encapsulation of photothermal agents may lead to their rapid release. Dual-functional hydrogel systems that integrate functions and carriers can potentially solve this problem. In this work, we successfully developed a dual-functional guanosine(G)-based hydrogel integrating the photothermal effect and localized delivery by introducing dynamic borate ester utilizing the photothermal property of PDA-AuNPs and the self-assembly ability of G. Both in vitro and in vivo results confirmed that the GBPA hydrogel not only exhibited excellent photothermal toxicity, stability, injectability, and biocompatibility, but also possessed high photothermal antitumor activity. These results suggested that the GBPA hydrogel could be used as a dual-functional hydrogel integrating photothermal effect and localized delivery in one system, which would possibly provide a new opportunity for the design of new dual-functional hydrogels for highly efficient cancer therapy.

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CLINICAL AND EXPERIMENTAL PATHOLOGY 2022; 15:29-37.

Abstract
Despite improvements in diagnosis and treatment, the 5-year survival of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), no matter the location, remains low, averaging 50%. Telomerase is expressed in 85% of malignancies and may play an important role in human carcinogenesis. Its catalytic component is human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT), which has been thought, but not proven, to be involved in survival with OSCC. We investigated whether hTERT protein was a prognostic factor in OSCC by evaluating its association with clinicopathologic findings and OSCC survival. We found that in comparison to patients with high hTERT expression, patients with low hTERT expression survived significantly longer, including a longer 5-year overall survival. In addition, overall survival was significantly correlated to hTERT expression and the histologic grade and N status of the tumor. Disease-free survival was significantly related to hTERT expression, the histologic grade and N status of the tumor, and mode of invasion. These results suggest that hTERT protein is involved in cervical lymph node metastasis, that its levels may be increased during carcinogenesis, and that it may influence tumor invasion. We believe that this study is the first to demonstrate that OSCC with high hTERT expression carries a worse prognosis than cases with low hTERT expression.

Abstract
Mastoid lymph node inflammation is a rare entity. Pathological conditions in the vicinity of the mastoid processes can be challenging for maxillofacial head-neck surgeons to address. We report a case of suppurative mastoid lymphadenitis in an 18-year-old Caucasian male. To our knowledge, there are no publications that highlight the clinical, ultrasonographic, intra-, and postoperative data for any pathologic process that presented as mastoiditis.

Abstract
Purpose The role of the peroxiredoxin (PRDX) family in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the expression of PRDXs and their effects on the prognosis in OSCC. Methods The expression of PRDXs and their effects on prognosis were analysed in 216 OSCC samples from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. OSCC tissues and adjacent noncancerous tissues (ANTs) were obtained from 68 clinical patients. Quantitative real-time (qRT)-PCR, Western blot, and immunohistochemical (IHC) staining were used to verify the relationship between the expression level of PRDX1 and different clinical features. Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) was used to examine the molecular mechanism of PRDX1 in OSCC. Results PRDX1 was found to be the only gene in PRDX family that highly expressed in OSCC samples and affected the prognosis of patients with OSCC. PRDX1 expression was significantly related to tumor stage, lymphatic metastasis, and pathological grade. A nomogram consisting of tumor stage, N stage, and PRDX1 level was constructed. GSEA showed that high expression of PRDX1 involved many cancer-related molecular functions and signaling pathways. Conclusion PRDX1 may play an important role in the occurrence and development of OSCC, and may be a potential new target for OSCC treatment.

Abstract
Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is the most prevalent form of malignant tumour in the oral cavity and its early detection is critical for improving the prognosis of affected patients. The present study aimed to isolate and confirm exosomes derived from the supernatant of the OSCC cell line CAL-27 and human oral epithelial cells (HOECs), analyze long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) expression profiles and determine the diagnostic value based on bioinformatics analyses. The results indicated that the particles isolated from the supernatant of CAL-27 and HOECs were either round or oval, had a size range of 30–150 nm and were enriched with ALG-2 interacting protein X (ALIX) and tumour susceptibility 101 proteins (TSG101). These characteristics confirmed that these particles were exosomes. Three lncRNAs (NR-026892.1, NR-126435.1 and NR-036586.1) were selected as potential diagnostic biomarkers for OSCC. The expression levels of the selected lncRNAs were significantly different in CAL-27-exo vs. HOEC-exo, as well as in whole cells (CAL-27 vs. HOECs) (P<0.001). The expression levels of the three lncRNAs confirmed by quantitative PCR were consistent with the sequencing data. In conclusion, various lncRNAs were aberrantly expressed between cancerous and non-cancerous exosomes, suggesting that they may serve as biomarkers for cancer.

Abstract
Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is a commonly occurring head and neck cancer. It has a high prevalence in certain parts of the world, and is associated with a high mortality rate. In this review, we describe metastasis related to OSCC, and disorders that could lead to OSCC with common etiological factors. In addition, a brief account of the diagnosis of OSCC and role of salivary biomarkers in its early detection has also been highlighted. Google Scholar and PubMed search engines were searched with keywords including “oral squamous cell carcinoma”, “OSCC”, “oral cancer”, “potentially malignant disorders in oral cavity”, “etiological factors of OSCC”, “diagnosis of OSCC”, and “salivary biomarkers and OSCC” to gather the literature for this review. The review concludes that OSCC has the potential for regional as well as distant metastasis, and many potentially malignant diseases can transform into OSCC with the help of various etiological factors. Diagnosis of OSCC involves traditional biopsy, but salivary biomarkers could also be utilized for early recognition.
