Article Abstract

Primary squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the liver is rare and has an extremely poor prognosis. It is very difficult to detect and is sometimes misdiagnosed. It has been reported that male sex, hepatic cyst, hepatolithiasis, hepatic teratoma, and liver cirrhosis may be associated with SCC of the liver. A 67-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital with anorexia, weakness, and right upper quadrant abdominal (RUQ) pain. Sonography and an abdominal computed tomography scan revealed a 36 × 34 cm mass in the liver. Pathological analysis of the sample suggested SCC. According to the negative radiographic findings in other major organs, the tumor was considered primary. The patient was treated with surgical resection and followed by palliative care. Our case died 5 months after the initial presentation.

Objective: Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) with bone invasion are staged as pT4a, potentially upstaging smaller tumors. This study aimed to evaluate the oncological benefit of postoperative radiotherapy (PORT) in pT4aN0 OSCC with respect to tumor size and without other risk factors.

Methods: This retrospective matched cohort study included pT4aN0 OSCC patients with bone invasion treated surgically (R0) between 2010 and 2022.

However, no previous reports have compared the clinical characteristics of OSCC patients opting for BSC as initial treatment with those receiving standard treatment. This study retrospectively analyzed these differences to identify the factors influencing this decision.

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most common lung cancer type and one of the deadliest neoplasias worldwide. NSCLC is histologically classified into adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and other less frequent subtypes. Both subtypes and other solid tumors are increasingly regarded as abnormal organs, highlighting the critical role of the desmoplastic tumor stroma rich in cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) in driving tumor progression and therapeutic resistance.
