1. Hypokalemia during the early phase of refeeding in patients with cancer
OBJECTIVE: Refeeding syndrome occurs in patients with severe malnutrition when refeeding begins after a long period of starvation. This syndrome increases the risk of clinical complications and mortality. Hypophosphatemia is considered the primary characteristic of the syndrome. The aim of our study was to investigate the presence of other electrolyte alter

2. Importance of triple endoscopy in the diagnosis of multiple primary tumors in patients with upper aerodigestive tract squamous cell carcinoma / A importância da tríplice endoscopia no diagnóstico de neoplasias primárias múltiplas em pacientes com carcinoma epidermóide de vias aerodigestivas superiores
INTRODUÇÃO: Pacientes com carcinomas das vias aerodigestivas superiores (VADS) apresentam um alto risco de desenvolver outros cânceres tanto simultaneamente quanto subsequentemente. A maioria destes tumores ocorre nas VADS, pulmões ou esôfago. A tríplice endoscopia (laringoscopia, endoscopia digestiva alta e broncoscopia) possibilita o diagnostico de l

3. Assessing the Molecular and Genetic Aspects of Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Larynx / Avaliação Genético-Molecular do Carcinoma das Células Escamosas da Laringe
The larynx is a structure of the upper aerodigestive tract responsible for the production of sounds as well as protecting the lower airways and helping during the normal act of swallowing. Any pathology which affects the larynx can impose several challenges that disrupt its normal physiological function, and consequently and directly resulting in reduction o

4. Trends in upper aerodigestive tract cancer based on 18 cancer registries database worldwide. 1969-1999 / Tendências de incidência do câncer das vias aéreas e digestivas superiores segundo 18 registros de câncer de base populacional com destaque ao município de São Paulo. 1969-1999
Introduction: Upper Aerodigestive Tract Cancer comprises a group of neoplasms which spread over many anatomic regions. Considering most of the locations, the worst risk coefficients are tobacco and alcohol. Taken the coefficients are known, prevention and precocious detection campaigns are expected to lessen the incidence statistics. Objectives. To estimate

5. The influence of alcohol consumption on worldwide trends in mortality from upper aerodigestive tract cancers in men.
STUDY OBJECTIVES: To assess current trends in male mortality from cancers of the oral cavity/pharynx, oesophagus, and larynx (upper aerodigestive tract cancers), and relate these to past national consumption of alcohol and smoking of cigarettes. To assess the impact of current trends in alcohol consumption and tobacco smoking on likely future rates of these

6. Cancer risk in hospitalised psoriasis patients: a follow-up study in Sweden
We examined overall and specific cancer risks among Swedish subjects who had been hospitalised one or more times for psoriasis. A database was created by identifying such patients from the Swedish Hospital Discharge Register and linking them with the Cancer Registry. Follow-up of patients was carried out from the last hospitalisation through 2004. A total of

7. Constitutive activation of Stat3 signaling abrogates apoptosis in squamous cell carcinogenesis in vivo
Field cancerization predisposes the upper aerodigestive tract mucosa to the formation of multiple primary tumors, when exposed to environmental carcinogens. Up-regulation of epidermal growth factor receptor occurs early in squamous cell carcinogenesis and is critical for the loss of growth control in a variety of human cancers, including head and neck s

8. Galectin-3 Overexpression in Invasive Laryngeal Carcinoma, Assessed by Computer-assisted Analysis
The larynx is the most common site of malignancy in the upper aerodigestive tract. In Brazil, malignant laryngeal lesions represent 2% of all cancers, with ∼3000 annual deaths. The association between human papillomavirus (HPV) and laryngeal cancer is still controversial. The aim of the present retrospective study was to determine the expression of galecti

9. Expression of a novel mRNA in human head and neck squamous cell carcinoma cells.
AIMS: The differential display reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (DDRT-PCR) technique was used to search for differences between the mRNA expression profiles of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) cell lines established from head and neck tumours and normal keratinocytes from the mucosa of the upper aerodigestive tract. METHODS: Total RNA prepared fr

10. p53 regulates cell survival by inhibiting PIK3CA in squamous cell carcinomas
Interactions between the p53 and PI3K/AKT pathways play a significant role in the determination of cell death/survival. In benign cells these pathways are interrelated through the transcriptional regulation of PTEN by p53, which is required for p53-mediated apoptosis. PTEN exerts its effects by decreasing the phosphorylated AKT fraction, thereby diminishing
