WHITE BLOOD CELL AGAINST CANCER CELL

The larger pale cell visible in these images is a white blood cell, while the smaller disc-shaped cells around it are red blood cells that carry oxygen. The surface of a white blood cell is covered in receptor proteins that act like locks, recognizing antigens from bacteria and viruses as keys that signal a threat. […]

Extrachromosomal circular DNA in tumors: a new mechanism for the formation of these powerful cancer accelerators has been discovered

Extrachromosomal circular DNA in tumors: a new mechanism for the formation of these powerful cancer accelerators has been discovered. A group of italian researchers at IFOM has identified a second pathway through which extrachromosomal circular DNA is formed: fragments of genetic material located outside chromosomes and known to act as tumor accelerators. The study’s results, […]

Lower lip squamous cell carcinoma: A clinical case

Lower lip squamous cell carcinoma: A Vietnamese case report of surgical treatment with reconstruction by local flap Introduction Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of lower lip comprises over 25% of oral cancer. Surgical treatment plan for SCC patients includes tumor excision, lymph node dissection and reconstruction. Case presentation A 68-year-old patient was admitted with 1-year history […]

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 […]

METALLICA BASSIST JASON NEWSTED OPENS UP ABOUT THROAT CANCER DIAGNOSIS

“I Got My ‘Free And Clear’ About Three Weeks Ago’ “So, let’s see — in one week, it’s gonna be a year. So one week from today, it’ll be a year. May 8th of 2025, I underwent a procedure for throat cancer. And so they took a bunch of shit outta here and then they […]

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 ⬇️
