Abstract
With advances in gene and protein analysis technologies, many target molecules that may be useful in cancer diagnosis have been reported. Therefore, the "Tumor Marker Study Group" was established in 1981 with the aim of "discovering clinically" useful molecules. Later, the name was changed to "Japanese Society for Molecular Tumor Marker Research" in 2000 in response to the remarkable progress in gene-related research. Currently, the world of cancer treatment is shifting from the era of representative tumor markers of each cancer type used for tumor diagnosis and treatment evaluation to the study of companion markers for molecular-targeted therapeutics that target cancer cells. Therefore, the first edition of the Molecular Tumor Marker Guidelines, which summarizes tumor markers and companion markers in each cancer type, was published in 2016. After publication of the first edition, the gene panel testing using next-generation sequencing became available in Japan in June 2019 for insured patients. In addition, immune checkpoint inhibitors have been indicated for a wide range of cancer types. Therefore, the 2nd edition of the Molecular Tumor Marker Guidelines was published in September 2021 to address the need to revise the guidelines. Here, we present an English version of the review (Part 1) of the Molecular Tumor Marker Guidelines, Second Edition.

González-Moles MÁ, Warnakulasuriya S, López-Ansio M, Ramos-García P. Hallmarks of Cancer Applied to Oral and Oropharyngeal Carcinogenesis: A Scoping Review of the Evidence Gaps Found in Published Systematic Reviews. Cancers (Basel) 2022; 14:cancers14153834. [PMID: 35954497 PMCID: PMC9367256 DOI: 10.3390/cancers14153834] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/27/2022] [Revised: 08/04/2022] [Accepted: 08/04/2022] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Simple Summary This scoping review of systematic reviews aims to accurately assess the degree of existing scientific evidence on the cancer hallmarks proposed in 2011 by Hanahan and Weinberg, in the form of systematic reviews and meta-analyses, applied to oral potentially malignant disorders, oral cavity and oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinomas, in order to point out gaps in evidence and lines of research that should be implemented in the future to improve the malignant transformation prediction, diagnosis and/or prognosis of these diseases. Abstract In 2000 and 2011, Hanahan and Weinberg published two papers in which they defined the characteristics that cells must fulfil in order to be considered neoplastic cells in all types of tumours that affect humans, which the authors called “hallmarks of cancer”. These papers have represented a milestone in our understanding of the biology of many types of cancers and have made it possible to reach high levels of scientific evidence in relation to the prognostic impact that these hallmarks have on different tumour types. However, to date, there is no study that globally analyses evidence-based knowledge on the importance of these hallmarks in oral and oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinomas. For this reason, we set out to conduct this scoping review of systematic reviews with the aim of detecting evidence gaps in relation to the relevance of the cancer hallmarks proposed by Hanahan and Weinberg in oral and oropharyngeal cancer, and oral potentially malignant disorders, and to point out future lines of research in this field.

Predictive value of tissue p53 protein expression and serum p53 antibodies in oral potentially malignant disorders: Relative to oral squamous cell carcinoma. J Taibah Univ Med Sci 2021; 17:415-423. [PMID: 35722241 PMCID: PMC9170774 DOI: 10.1016/j.jtumed.2021.11.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/29/2021] [Revised: 11/07/2021] [Accepted: 11/20/2021] [Indexed: 11/30/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective This study aims to assess and report the predictive value of tissue p53 protein expression and serum p53 antibodies as a screening tool for oral potentially malignant disorders (OPMDs) cases with risk of malignant transformation. Methods A case–control study was jointly conducted at the Department of Pathology and Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery in several dental institutes in the country from April 2016 to March 2017. A total of 180 eligible subjects (60 cases of OPMDs, 60 cases of oral squamous cell carcinoma, and 60 controls) were included in the study. Tissue p53 immunoreactivity was determined by immunohistochemistry, and serum concentrations of p53 antibodies were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Specimens were collected for laboratory investigations after obtaining written consent from both patients and controls. Results Among the study participants, the recorded male to female ratio was close to 2:1, and most participants fell in the age range of 41–60 years and above. Of the 60 cases of OPMDs, the observed tissue p53 immunopositivity was 73.3% (n = 44) while for the p53 antibody, the seropositivity was 96.7% (n = 58). The sensitivity for p53 immunoreactivity was 73%, and specificity was 98.3% between OPMDs and healthy individuals. Conclusion The present study provides evidence (for OPMDs) that serum p53 antibodies and p53 immunoreactivity could be used as a sensitivity test and a specific test, respectively, and may contribute to determining the potential of OPMD for malignant transformation risk.
