Update on olfactory neuroblastoma
Lopez, Fernando; Agaimy, Abbas; Franchi, Alessandro; Suárez, Carlos; Vander Poorten, Vincent; Mäkitie, Antti A.; Homma, Akihiro; Eisbruch, AvrahamOlfactory neuroblastomas are uncommon malignancies that arise from olfactory receptor cells located high in the nasal cavity. Accurate diagnosis plays a crucial role in determining clinical results and guiding treatment decisions. Diagnosis can be a major challenge for pathologists, especially when dealing with tumours with poor differentiation. The discovery of several molecular and immunohistochemical markers...
Neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio in oropharyngeal squamous cell Carcinoma: A syst...
Rodrigo, Juan P.; Sánchez-Canteli, Mario; Triantafyllou, Asterios; de Bree, Remco; Mäkitie, Antti A.; Franchi, Alessandro; Hellquist, HenrikNeutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) has been associated with survival in various cancers, including head and neck cancer. However, there is limited information on its role in oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinomas (OPSCC) according to HPV status. This prompted the present metaanalysis. Studies were selected when the prognostic value of NLR prior to treatment was evaluated in OPSCC patients, the cutoff value of...
Chromosome translocations, gene fusions, and their molecular consequences in pl...
Stenman, Göran; Fehr, Andre; Skálová, Alena; Vander Poorten, Vincent; Hellquist, Henrik; Mikkelsen, Lauge Hjorth; Saba, Nabil F.Salivary gland tumors are a heterogeneous group of tumors originating from the major and minor salivary glands. The pleomorphic adenoma (PA), which is the most common subtype, is a benign lesion showing a remarkable morphologic diversity and that, upon recurrence or malignant transformation, can cause significant clinical problems. Cytogenetic studies of >500 PAs have revealed a complex and recurrent pattern of...
