Abstract A cross-sectional study was conducted to assess the adoptability of CK-19 as a routine diagnostic assay and potential prognostic marker following disseminated oral squamous cell carcinoma in Pakistani population. The current descriptive study was conducted at Isra Dental College Hospital, Isra University, Hyderabad, Pakistan. Suspected patients of oral squamous cell carcinomas (OSCC), who visited the Isra Dental College Hospital’s outpatient department from January 2014 up to January 2015 with four year follow up (from January 2015 up to December 2019), were included after ethical approval of the Institutional board. SPSS version 21.0 was used for data analysis. Sixty cases of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) were selected for CK-19 quantification by using PCR before and after incisional biopsy.

Introduction: Cervical cancer is the most common cancer among females. P16 is the surrogate marker for cervical carcinoma. This study aimed to evaluate the association of P16 marker with clinic-pathological parameters in squamous cell carcinoma of uterine cervix. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study. Histological confirmed cases of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of cervix were considered. All cases were evaluated for IHC P16 expression as per lower anogenital squamous terminology (LAST) criteria and correlated with clinico-pathological parameters. The data was analyzed by SPSS software version 22. Results: Out of 75 cases, P16 biomarker expression was block positive, ambiguous and negative in 67 (89.3%), 5 (6.6%), and 3 (4%) cases, respectively. There was a significant association between P16 expression and age (p = 0.005). All cases between 30-59 years of age showed block positivity. There was no significant association between P16 expression and age at marriage (p = 0.951), age at menopause (p = 0.311), parity (p = 0.554), clinical symptoms/signs, stage of disease (p = 0.28), or histopathological grade (p = 0.877). Maximum expression was seen between 40-44 years. Moreover, all cases having 1 & 2 parity showed block positivity and all stage I cases showed block positivity. Conclusion: P16 biomarker was significantly expressed in cervical cancers of the relatively younger age group and those with early stage of disease.

Aims: The purpose of the study is to evaluate the frequency, distribution and determinants of tongue lesions in our teaching institute. Also to find an association of common tongue lesions with various study variables. Study Design: Cross-sectional study design. Place and Duration of Study: The study was conducted at Fatima Jinnah Dental College & Hospital, Karachi, Pakistan. All the lesions presented on the tongue were included reported from January 2017 to December 2020. Methodology: There were 670 oral lesions documented in the Department of Oral Pathology and Oral Medicine out of which 93 (13.8%) represented tongue lesions. We included 93 patients with tongue lesions (45 men, 48 women; age range 18-80 years). These lesions include the atrophic tongue, geographic tongue, candidiasis, keratotic lesion, ulceration, oral pigmentation, fibroma, black hairy tongue, traumatic neuroma, herpes infection, oral submucous fibrosis, and oral squamous cell carcinoma. Results: In the study, common clinical presentations on the tongue were ulceration (29%), erythematous/depapillated tongue (22.6%), white keratotic and plaque-like lesions (21.6%), and black discoloration (8.6%). The clinical presentation was statistically associated with gender (p=0.03), age (p=0.04) and site of lesion (p<.001). Atrophic glossitis (19.4%), traumatic ulcer (12.9%), pseudomembranous candidiasis (12.9%), oral pigmentation (8.6%), oral squamous cell carcinoma (7.5%), geographic tongue (6.5%), recurrent aphthous stomatitis (6.5%), and frictional keratosis (6.5%) were most commonly reported tongue lesions. There was a relationship of tongue lesions with causes and site of the lesion (P<0.001). Conclusion: Initial tongue lesions may reflect underlying massive abnormal changes and this could be an early diagnostic parameter.  Through vigilant screening of the oral mucosa, we may be able to detect such mucosal alterations and search out the possible cause in order to provide effective treatment to the patient. In this way, we may also prevent the malignant transformation of any susceptible oral lesions.

Objective: To determine the frequency of occult cervical metastasis in oral squamous cell carcinoma patients. Methods: This cross sectional study was conducted in the department of maxillofacial surgery, Mayo Hospital, Lahore from July 31st, 2015 to January 31st, 2016 on 100 patients of oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC) having clinically and radiologically negative nodes. Prophylactic functional neck dissection was done in each patient and was sent to the pathology lab for evaluation of any occult metastasis. Results: Overall frequency of occult cervical metastasis was found to be 27%. In 41(41 %) specimens of SCC of tongue, 13(31.7%) had occult metastasis. In Alveolar mucosa occult metastasis was found in 4(20 %) out of 20(20 %) patients. In SCC of buccal mucosa occult metastasis was found in 10(29.4%) out of 34(34 %) patients. In SCC of lip no occult metastasis was detected. Conclusion: Within the boundaries of the present study, it is concluded that occult cervical metastasis was most frequent in cases of SCC tongue, whereas no occult cervical metastasis detected in SCC of lip. Key Words: Squamous cell carcinoma, cervical lymph nodes, prophylactic neck dissection, occult cervical metastasis. Continuous...
