The aim of this work was to study with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) the morphologic patterns of the lesions caused by superficial bladder cell carcinoma and to evaluate the possibility of using this method as prognostic index. Our observations showed three different kinds of morphologic patterns (wrinkled cell, dismorphic cells and cells with microvilli) of the neoplastic urothelium correlated with the evolution of the neoplastic disease. Results show that recurrence and invasiveness are more marked in the dismorphic cell kind, whereas the wrinkled cell kind represent a lower risk. SEM could be used as a parameter for biologically characterising superficial bladder cancer, as it is completely independent of neoplastic grading.

Diffusion reflectance spectroscopy measurements targeted with gold nanoparticles (GNPs) can identify residual cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) in excision borders. Human SCC specimens were stained with hematoxylin and eosin to identify tumor borders, and reflected onto an unstained deparaffinized section. Diffusion reflection of three sites (normal and SCC) were measured before and after GNPs targeting. Hyperspectral imaging showed a mean of 2.5 sites with tumor per specimen and 1.2 tumor-free (p < 0.05, t-test). GNPs were detected in 25/30 tumor sites (sensitivity 83.3%, false-negative rate 16.6%) and 12/30 non-tumor sites (specificity 60%, false-positive rate 40%). This study verifies the use of nanotechnology in identifying SCC tumor margins. Diffusion reflection scanning has high sensitivity for detecting the residual tumor.

InxGa1-xAs NWs have been grown with various indium mole fractions (x) using MOCVD. The morphology of InxGa1-xAs NWs was observed using Field Emission-Scanning Electron Microscopy (FE-SEM) in order to study the growth behavior of the NWs. FE-SEM results show that the NWs growth mechanism has changed due to changing of indium mole fraction. At low indium mole fraction, the NWs grew via direct impinging mechanism which has produced NWs with relatively uniform diameter. By increasing the value of x the growth mechanism has transformed to the combination of direct impinging and diffusion of source atoms from the surface of substrate causing tapering of NWs. The degree of tapering increases with increasing value of indium mole fraction. InxGa1-xAs NW grown at x = 0.65 has the highest tapering factor, TF = 12.82, whereas NW grown at x = 0.41 has the lowest tapering factor, TF = 2.76.

Background: Desmoplastic squamous cell carcinoma (DSCC) is a variant of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) with aggressive histologic and clinical features. DSCC has a 6 to 10 times higher rate of both local recurrence and metastatic spread compared with well-differentiated SCC. Clinical estimation of tumor margins can grossly underestimate both the depth and the peripheral extent of the tumor. Surgery with intraoperative margin control has been recommended. In many cases, postoperative radiotherapy or prophylactic lymph node dissection may be required. Case Presentation: A 71-year-old man with a biopsy positive for DSCC involving the left postauricular area was treated with nine-stage Mohs micrographic surgery before the tumor margins were negative. Conclusion: There are minimal reports in the literature pertaining to the presentation and treatment of DSCC; therefore, definitive conclusions are difficult. The depth of tumor penetration and peripheral spread of the DSCC presented in this case, however, supports the need for aggressive surgical excision, preferably with intraoperative margin control. To maximize the chance of cure, physicians must be aware of the distinct clinical and histologic features of DSCC and the aggressive treatment required.
