El cáncer en cavidad bucal y de la región de cabeza y cuello se presenta con mayor frecuencia entre la quinta y sexta década de la vida generalmente atribuido al uso indiscriminado de substancias como el alcohol y el tabaco por un periodo de tiempo considerable. Sin embargo estudios recientes demuestran un incremento en la incidencia en pacientes jóvenes que nunca estuvieron expuestos a estos y a otros factores como riesgo ocupacional, predisposición genética, dieta.

Contexto: O tumor triquilemal proliferativo é enfermidade pouco comum que se desenvolve a partir de lesões císticas foliculares, com alguns relatos de metástases, porém raras. Relato de caso: Descrevemos o caso de uma paciente de 93 anos, que apresentava tumoração de três centímetros há seis anos em couro cabeludo, que procurou o serviço por complicação associada (infecção). Foi realizada excisão cirúrgica completa, com realização de enxerto cutâneo para fechamento. Conclusões: Essa neoplasia de células escamosas aparentemente tem comportamento intermediário, em relação à malignidade, e necessita acompanhamento a longo prazo. Ainda há necessidade de mais estudos para identificar o porquê de alguns tumores terem comportamento indolente e outros, mais agressivo.

Introducción: En la literatura, han aparecido reportes de neoplasia escamosa de superficie ocular (NESO) asociado con pterigio en un mismo paciente. Sin embargo, Colombia no cuenta con una estadística para ninguna de estas patologías. Objetivos: Determinar la frecuencia de NESO en pterigios resecados, en la Fundación Oftalmológica Nacional. Identificar factores de riesgo y características clínicas que predispongan a su aparición. Metodología: Estudio descriptivo de corte transversal. Se realizó una clasificación prequirúrgica y estudio histopatológico de los pterigios resecados en 93 pacientes, para confirmar su coexistencia con NESO. Se efectuó un análisis de frecuencias para datos demográficos y factores de riesgo asociados su aparición. Resultados: La frecuencia de NESO asociado a pterigio fue 7,07%. De estos, 28,5% identificados como sospechosos en la evaluación preoperatoria. La mayoría se presentaron en mujeres (71,4%), las ocupaciones con mayor frecuencia: labores domésticas (42,8%) y el comercio (28.5%). La exposición a derivados del petróleo y tabaquismo fue del 14,28%. No se presentaron casos asociados a infección por VIH. No hubo diferencias estadísticamente significativas sobre la presencia de NESO al comparar los casos en edad (p=0,8), procedencia (p=0,6) tabaquismo (p=0,4), leucoplaquia (p=1,0), queratinización (p=0,137), o vasos amputados (p=0,137). Conclusiones: De los pacientes con diagnóstico histopatológico de NESO, un porcentaje mínimo es sospechado clínicamente. Además se encontró este diagnóstico en pacientes más jóvenes que lo reportado en la literatura. Se recomienda realizar estudios con mayor número de pacientes para una mejor identificación de factores de riesgo. Palabras clave:

A quantitative, descriptive, cross-sectional and retrospective study, using technical procedures of document consultation from secondary sources and health household survey with application form for face to face inter views, with the assent nº.039/2011 from the Ethics Committee of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte. The aim of this study was to analyze the cervix cancer control in the area47 of the Health Family Centre Nova Natal II. The cancer cervix is the second most common cancer among women worldwide. In Brazil screening for early detection and treatment of disease has been poorly done and follow-up to reduce mortality has not been executed. From a total of1170women belonging to area 47, who under went screening by the Pap test in the period from 2005 to 2010,was elected a sample of 38 women with positive cervical changes, over 18 years old. The calculation of frequency analysis of socio demographic and clinical and epidemiological selected variables with the results of cervical changes, using the X2 test and taking as significance level of p<0.05 was not statistically significant. The predominant age range was 25 to 64 years (68.9%), most no white women (60.5%), predominantly with primary education (57.9%), most married (68.4%) and housewives (68.4%) with early age of sexual activity (86.8%), the minority smokers (13.2%), with a sexual partner (36.8%). At the time of interview, 42.1% of the women voiced complaint of discharge, while only 2.6% reported bleeding. In relation to the occurrence of STDs (including HPV), 10.5% of women reported being a carrier. The use of oral contraceptives was 32.3% of women, from 2 to 4 years (44.4%). The result of the last screening test performed, showed prevalence of immature squamous metaplasia (55.3%), followed by intraepithelial low- grade lesion (including the cytopathologic HPV effect and cervical intra epithelial neoplasia grade I) (31.6%); intraepithelial high-grade lesion (including cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade II and III) (7.9%), atypical squamous non neoplastic cells (5.3%). There was no squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma. Most women received information about the action that should be done after the last screening test result (55.3%), but how to perform follow, most women did not report having done so (55.3%). The follow-up group of women studied, with varying degrees of cervical abnormalities, should only be completed with the discharge by cure, established inconsecutive negative cytology, a goal that is not being achieved in the area 47 of the Health Family Centre of Nova Natal II

Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is an important cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide despite recent advances in treatment. There are several studies aiming to find markers that may improve the assessment of this disease prognosis. Studies about genetic polymorphisms have gained prominence due to their influence on individual susceptibility to cancer development. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between the frequency of polymorphisms XPD Lys751Gln and XRCC3 Thr241Met and clinicopathological features of OSCC cases, including age, sex, presence or absence of metastases, and histological grading of malignancy according to Bryne (1998). Sample consisted of 54 cases of OSCC and 40 cases of inflammatory fibrous hyperplasia (IFH). OSCC cases were classified as low or high grade. DNA samples were previously extracted from paraffin blocks. Genotypes for each case were determined through PCR-RFLP (polymerase chain reaction - restriction fragment length polymorphism). Results were analyzed by Fisher s exact test and Chi-square test and the odds ratio was calculated considering p < 0.05 to indicate statistical significance. For XPD, Lys/Gln genotype was more common in IFHs (n=28; 70%) than in OSCCs (n=24; 44.4%) (OR: 0.3; p<0.05). Frequency of Gln allele was higher in high-grade lesions when compared to low grade lesions (0.48 and 0.21, respectively) (OR: 3.4; p<0.05). For XRCC3, Met allele was more common in OSCC than in IFH (0.49 and 0.35, respectively) (OR: 2.6; p<0.05). Met/Met genotype was associated with presence of metastases (OR: 8.1; p<0.05). There was no statistically significant association between the genotypes and the age or sex of patients. In the present sample, the higher frequency of XPD Gln allele in IFH reveals a possible protective role of this variant against the development of OSCC. However, its association with high-grade lesions indicates that this allele could influence the tumor progression after the neoplasia development. The presence of XRCC3 Met allele, in turn, seems to contribute to the development of OSCC and metastases

O carcinoma epidermóide do esôfago é neoplasia com alta taxa de mortalidade e distribuição geográfica peculiar. O estudo da célula tumoral ou suas diferenciações pré-tumorais, demonstraram ter por análise imunohistoquímica e genética, inúmeros determinantes que podem ajudar no tratamento. Neste trabalho foi avaliada a expressão imunohistoquímica de p53 e ki-67 na carcinogênese esofágica induzida quimicamente através do uso de dietilnitrosamina, em um grupo de 100 camundongos fêmeas. O estudo experimental foi realizado com 4 grupos de animais, onde os grupos I e II foram considerados controles, sendo diferenciados por gavagem esofágica, uma vez semana, com água fria (temperatura ambiente) ou quente (60º-70ºC). E os grupos III e IV foram considerados estudos, os quais receberam dietilnitrosamina por 3 dias consecutivos semanalmente, também sendo diferenciados por gavagem, uma vez por semana, com água fria ou quente. O estudo apresentou data progressiva de sacrifícios com colheita de peças esofágicas, que iniciava aos 30 dias de experimento e terminava aos 150 dias. Demonstrou-se que não houve diferença na incidência tumoral quando foi acrescida a variável temperatura da água; provavelmente devido ao episódio único semanal que era adicionado ao animal em experimentação. A análise imunohistoquímica do p53 não evidenciou diferença estatística durante a evolução da carcinogênese até 150 dias, porém quando analisado a relação com alterações patológicas demonstra-se que apresenta significância em relação à patologia baixo grau de displasia, alto grau e carcinoma. A análise imunohistoquímica do ki-67 demonstrou diferença estatística durante a evolução da carcinogênese a partir do dia 120 de experimento e quando analisada a relação com alterações patológicas demonstrou-se que apresenta significância também em relação à lesão intraepitelial de alto grau e carcinoma.

O câncer de esôfago é a sexta neoplasia maligna mais comum no mundo. No Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil, o carcinoma epidermóide de esôfago apresenta coeficientes de mortalidade elevados e com tendência ascendente com, pelo menos, o dobro dos coeficientes padronizados de mortalidade encontrados em outros estados brasileiros ou em países do cone sul da América latina. O diagnóstico tardio parece ser o principal responsável pelo mau prognóstico. Nos últimos anos, diversos estudos têm demonstrado a possibilidade de identificação das lesões precursoras do câncer esofágico, mas sem repercussão no prognóstico, até o momento. Considera-se, atualmente, que a carcinogênese esofágica está relacionada a uma interação entre fatores ambientais e anormalidades genéticas Recentemente, estudos em biologia molecular têm demonstrado a influência dos fatores reguladores do ciclo celular no prognóstico de diversas moléstias, inclusive o câncer. O Rb é um gene supressor tumoral envolvido no mecanismo de controle do ciclo celular, cuja expressão tem sido demonstrada no câncer do esôfago. O objetivo deste estudo foi determinar a prevalência da perda da expressão da proteína pRb na mucosa esofágica de indivíduos sob risco para o carcinoma epidermóide de esôfago, bem como relacionar esta expressão com o consumo de tabaco, álcool e chimarrão, achados histopatológicos e cromoscopia com lugol. Foram estudados 170 casos e 20 controles através de reação imunohistoquímica utilizando anticorpo monoclonal anti-pRb em amostras teciduais fixadas em formalina e armazenadas em parafina. Um total de 33 casos demonstrou perda da expressão imunohistoquímica da proteína pRb, determinando uma prevalência de 19,4% na amostra estudada. Não houve associação estatisticamente significativa entre a perda da expressão da proteína pRb e as variáveis idade, raça, exposição ao fumo, álcool e chimarrão, bem como a cromoendoscopia com lugol. Foi demonstrada uma associação significativa entre a perda da expressão da pRb com a história de câncer na família. Da mesma forma, foi demonstrada uma associação linear significativa entre a perda da pRb e o grau histopatológico das lesões. Estes resultados demonstraram uma influência da proteína pRb na evolução da carcinogênese esofágica e permitem sugerir que os indivíduos expostos aos fatores de risco estudados sejam candidatos a uma maior vigilância.

Oral squamous cell carcinoma is the most common malignant neoplasm in oral cavity. Several studies have been carried out to establish biologic behaviour criteria of this neoplasm. Thus, the purpose of this experiment was to performe a clinic, morphologic and immunohistochemical analysis, by the expression of cytokeratins 7, 10, 13, 14, 16 and 19 in 30 cases of tongue squamous cell carcinoma from the files of Dr. Luiz Antônio Hospital (Natal-RN). It was verifeid of the immunoexpression the correlation clinic estadiament and histologic gradation system proposed by Bryne (1998), in order to investigate the use of these intermediate filaments as an indicator of tumour progression. Data was collected from the patients file and it was observed that information regarding sex, age and race was resemble to the literature. Data obtained from disease evolution, clinic estadiament, metastasis and expression of cytokeratins 7, 10, 13, 14, 16 and 19 was submited to statistical analysis (Test K2), which showed that only the histologic gradation didn t demonstrated significant correlation to the clinic variables. The expression the cytokeratins presented variation in the analysed tumours. CK 10 expression showed significant correlation to metastasis, and the presence of CK 16 was related to disease evolution (obit/remission) and also with the T3 and T4 of TNM. These results evidenced that metastasis and TNM showed a good efficacy as a prognostic indicator. The histologic gradation proposed by Bryne (1998) didn t reflect the biologic behaviour of the studied tongue squamous cell carcinoma, and the analysis of some intermediate filaments of cytokeratins seems to reflect the biologic behaviour and agressivity of some oral squamous cell carcinoma

The presence of inflammatory cells within the tumor microenvironment plays a dual role that may contribute both to the progression and for inhibition of tumor growth. Recent studies suggest that the quality, not the quantity, of the inflammatory infiltrate is the most important determinant for prognosis. Therefore, TCD8 cells and natural killer cells are the main effector cells in combating cancer. The aim of this study was to assess, through the immunohistochemical study, the expression of TCD8 lymphocytes and NK cells in epidermoid carcinoma (EC) of the lower lip. The sample consisted of 32 specimens of EC of the lower lip, of which 16 had regional lymph node metastasis, and the 16 remaining, free of metastases. The total number of positive cells at the front of invasion were evaluated quantitatively and the results were related to clinical TNM staging, histological grade of malignancy and prognostic factors. It was observed for the group with metastasis, prevalence of stages III and IV (p<0.0001). Most patients with metastasis, had a high grade of malignancy (p=0.006). Most cases classified as high grade of malignancy had stages III and IV (p=0.032). Of the total sample, there were three cases of recurrence and five with death, however these variables were not statistically significant when associated with clinicopathological parameters. The immunostaining of CD8 and CD57, respectively, showed no statistically significant association with any of the clinicopathological parameters studied, metastasis (p=0.346, p=0.622), TNM classification (p=0.146, p=0.576), histological grade of malignancy (p=0.936, p=936), recurrence (p=0.075, p=0.075) and death (p=0.897, p=0.856). Believing in the function of the immunological system against malignant cells, it is concluded that the TD8 lymphocytes and NK cells, would be acting in the control of the progression of malignant neoplasms, but not in isolated manner

The low level laser therapy (LLLT) has shown to be effective in promoting the proliferation of different cells in vitro, including keratinocytes, osteoblasts, endothelial cells and stem cells. It has been speculated that the biostimulatory effect of LLLT could cause undesirable enhancement of tumor growth in neoplastic diseases, since the malignant cells are more susceptible to proliferative stimuli. Within this context, this study evaluated the effect of LLLT on epidermoid carcinoma of the tongue cell line (SCC25) proliferation and invasion. Cultured cells were irradiated with an InGaAIP diode laser, 660nm, 30mW using two energy densities (0.5J/cm2 and 1.0J/cm2). Proliferative activity was assessed through trypan blue staining method and through cell cycle analysis using flow cytometry. The invasive potential was measured through cell invasion assay using matrigel. Cyclin D1, E-cadherin, -catenin and MMP-9 expressions were analyzed by immunofluorescence and flow cytometry and related to the investigated biological activities. Proliferation curve demonstrated that SCC25 irradiated with 1.0J/cm2 had the highest proliferative rate when compared to the control group and the group irradiated with 0.5J/cm2 (p<0.05). LLLT affected cell cycle distribution and energy density of 1.0 J/cm2 promoted a higher percentage of cells in S/G2/M phases, with statistically significant differences at 24h interval (p<0.05). LLLT, mainly with 1.0J/cm2, revealed significantly higher potential for invasion and influenced the expression of cyclin D1, E-cadherin, -catenin and MMP-9, promoting the malignant phenotype. In conclusion, our results indicate that LLLT has an important stimulatory effect on proliferation and invasion of SCC25 cells, likely due to altered expression of proteins associated with these processes

The Mx1 protein is encoded by an interferon- induced gene and shares domain organization, homooligomerization capacity and membrane association with the large dynamin-like GTPases. The Mx1 protein is involved in the response to a large number of RNA viruses, such as the bunyavirus family and the influenza virus. Interestingly, it has also been found as a methylation-silenced gene in several types of neoplasm, including head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. In this scenario, MX1 gene silencing is associated with immortalization in several neoplastic cell lines. Thus, Mx1 stands out as one of the key proteins involved in interferon-induced immune response and also plays an important role in cell cycle control. Here we discuss some of the functions of the Mx1 protein, including its antiviral activity, protein folding and involvement in neoplasia, as well as those revealed by investigating its cellular partners.
