Squamous Cell Carcinoma News and Research

RSS

Squamous Cell Carcinoma is cancer that begins in squamous cells, which are thin, flat cells that look like fish scales. Squamous cells are found in the tissue that forms the surface of the skin, the lining of the hollow organs of the body, and the passages of the respiratory and digestive tracts. Also called epidermoid carcinoma.

Proteogenomics can help determine effective treatment for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma

Proteogenomic analysis may offer new insight into matching cancer patients with an effective therapy for their particular cancer.

Researchers apply AI to help physicians customize treatments for patients with oral cancers

Researchers at Case Western Reserve University and partners in the United States and India are applying the investigative and predictive capabilities of artificial intelligence (AI) to help physicians customize treatments for patients with oral squamous cell carcinomas.

No added risks to radiation therapy for cancer patients with COVID-19, says study

A team of radiation oncologists at the Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/Northwell in the United States aimed to determine if COVID-19 infected cancer patients receiving radiation therapy (RT) have any different outcome than non-infected patients.

FAT1 mutations act as tumor suppressor and prevent cancer development, indicates study

Cancer metastasis, which is the dissemination of tumor cells into distant organs, is the leading cause of mortality in cancer patients. To undergo metastasis, cells must leave the primary tumor, circulate into the blood, colonize distant organs, and form distant metastasis.

β-AR agonist therapy may prevent metastasis in oral squamous cell carcinoma

Affecting almost 600,000 people worldwide every year, and with only a 50% survival rate, oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is one of the more common and deadly forms of cancer.

Inherited DNA defects cause squamous cell carcinoma in kids with Fanconi anemia

Physicians and scientists at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center used new stem cell technology to regenerate and study living patient-specific skin in the lab.

Promising breath analysis for early-stage cancer testing takes a leap forward

The global quest to use a person's breath analysis for rapid, inexpensive and accurate early-stage testing for cancer and other diseases has taken a leap forward.

Immunotherapy benefits patients with gastric and esophageal cancers, new data shows

New data presented at ESMO 2020 have shown that immunotherapy is beneficial for patients with gastric and esophageal cancers who currently have poor survival.

Blood microRNA biomarker may have potential to detect head and neck cancer

Researchers at Flinders University are expanding work on a promising blood test model to help predict or diagnose head and neck cancer, a difficult cancer to pick up early and treat.

Touchlight, Cancer Research UK and University of Southampton team up to develop DNA cancer vaccine

Cancer Research UK, the University of Southampton and Touchlight Genetics, a London based biotechnology company, today (Wednesday) announce a new clinical development partnership to progress a therapeutic DNA vaccine, TGL-100, into an early phase clinical trial targeting head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.

Cancers caused by bacterial toxin might be preventable

Studying DNA mutations in cancers can help clarify how cancers develop and what makes cancer cells different from normal, healthy cells.

Researchers identify potential new combination therapy to treat head and neck cancer

Researchers at the UCLA Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center and UCLA School of Dentistry have identified a potential new combination therapy to treat advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, the most common type of head and neck cancer.

Researchers develop bioprinted skin model of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma

The cover for issue 27 of Oncotarget features "Bimodal imaging examples of control and treated tumors (red) before and after the treatment period," by Browning, et al. and reported that the authors developed a 3-dimensional bioprinted skin model of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) tumors together with a microscopy assay to test chemotherapeutic effects in tissue.

Black patients with esophageal cancer less likely to receive surgery for early-stage disease

Black patients with esophageal cancer are at a higher risk of death compared to white patients. Although many reasons have been suggested for this, few have given physician actionable information.

Tumor-resident T cell levels underlie improved survival in throat cancer patients

Research led by the Centenary Institute has discovered that immune cells accumulating within the tumor environment, called tumour-resident T cells, are a critical determinant in survival rates of patients suffering from throat cancer.

New advance addresses a big challenge with using CRISPR in cancer patients

A mutation unique to certain cancer tumors is a potential homing beacon for safely deploying CRISPR gene editing enzymes to disarm DNA that makes cancer cells resistant to treatment, while ignoring the gene in normal cells where it's critical to healthy function, according to a new study from ChristianaCare's Gene Editing Institute in the journal Molecular Cancer Research.
