SALIVARY GLAND CARCINOMA: A PEDIATRIC CASE

SALIVARY GLAND CARCINOMA: A PEDIATRIC CASE Salivary gland secretory carcinoma (SC) represents a rare, slow-growing, low-grade malignant neoplasm that occurs mainly in the parotid gland. It has a slight predilection for the male gender and usually appears in adulthood. The morphologic and immunohistochemical features are like those observed in secretory breast carcinoma; however, it has […]

EPSTEIN – BARR VIRUS IN HEAD AND NECK CANCER

EPSTEIN – BARR VIRUS IN HEAD AND NECK CANCER Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a major cause of nasopharyngeal cancer (a type of head and neck cancer) and is associated with some lymphomas. The virus, which causes mono, can persist in the body and trigger genetic instability in cells, leading to tumor growth. Listen and share […]

TOBACCO AND ALCOHOL IN HEAD AND NECK CANCER

Tobacco and alcohol are the primary causes of head and neck cancer (HNC), responsible for approximately 75% of cases. They act synergistically, with combined use drastically increasing the risk more than either habit alone. Together, they cause chronic inflammation, damage cell DNA, and increase susceptibility to carcinogens. Listen and share ⬇️  

CHEWING GUM REDUCES HPV AND ORAL CANCER-ASSOCIATED BACTERIA IN HEAD AND NECK SQUAMOUS CELL CARCINOMA

Emerging data published in Scientific Reports, demonstrates extracts from a bioengineered chewing gum to significantly reduce the levels of 3 microbes associated with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). The medicated chewing gum displayed substantial reductions in oral human papillomavirus (HPV), Porphyromonas gingivalis (P gingivalis), and Fusobacterium nucleatum (Fnucleatum). The research evaluated a lablab […]

HPV IN HEAD AND NECK CANCER

HPV IN HEAD AND NECK CANCER HPV (Human Papillomavirus) causes a rapidly rising number of head and neck cancers, specifically oropharyngeal cancer (back of the throat, base of tongue, tonsils). Unlike tobacco-related cancers, HPV-positive patients are often younger and have better treatment prognoses. Share ⬇️

PINPOINTING BARRIERS TO TIMELY HEAD AND NECK CANCER TREATMENT IN RURAL AREAS

A new study led by researchers at Dartmouth Cancer Center pinpoints why many patients in rural areas experience delays in receiving critical follow-up treatment for head and neck cancer, and what can be done to address those gaps. Published in JAMA Otolaryngology–Head & Neck Surgery, the study examines factors that influence whether patients begin postoperative […]
