Skin Cancer

Skin Cancer

Skin cancer is a type of cancer that occurs when there is an abnormal growth of skin cells, usually triggered by damage to the DNA within the skin cells. It is primarily caused by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or artificial sources like tanning beds. Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer worldwide, and its incidence continues to rise.
Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC): BCC is the most common type of skin cancer, accounting for about 80% of cases. It typically develops in...

Barrett Esophagus-I: Introduction

Barrett Esophagus-I: Introduction

Barrett's esophagus is a medical condition where the esophageal mucosa is significantly damaged by stomach acid or other digestive fluids, often due to long-term exposure associated with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). In GERD, a weakened or abnormally relaxed lower esophageal sphincter allows stomach acid to flow persistently into the esophagus.
This constant acid exposure transforms the esophagus's pink mucosal lining (stratified squamous epithelium) into a type of lining more...

Metastasis

Metastasis

Metastasis is the spread of cancer cells from the original site to distant locations in the body. Cancer cells can spread via blood vessels (hematogenous) as well as lymph vessels in the body.
Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition
The epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition or EMT is a developmental process commonly observed in wound healing, embryogenesis, and cancer metastasis. EMT is induced by transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) or receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) ligands, which further...

The Tumor Microenvironment

The Tumor Microenvironment

Every normal cell or tissue is embedded in a complex local environment called stroma, consisting of different cell types, a basal membrane, and blood vessels. As normal cells mutate and develop into cancer cells, their local environment also changes to allow cancer progression. The tumor microenvironment (TME) consists of a complex cellular matrix of stromal cells and the developing tumor. The cross-talk between cancer cells and surrounding stromal cells is critical to disrupt normal tissue...

Area of Science:

Oncology
Immunology
Pathology

Background:

Eosinophils are immune cells frequently found in the tumor microenvironment.
Their presence in squamous cell carcinomas (SCC) is a notable pathological feature.

Purpose of the Study:

To review the existing literature on the role of eosinophils in SCC.
To explore the potential diagnostic and prognostic value of eosinophil infiltration in SCC specimens.

Main Methods:

Literature review of studies investigating eosinophils in squamous cell carcinomas.
Analysis of research on the identification of eosinophils in routine histopathological specimens.

Main Results:

Eosinophils are consistently observed in the stroma and peritumoral areas of SCC.
The extent of eosinophil infiltration is being investigated for its correlation with diagnostic and prognostic factors.

Conclusions:

Eosinophil infiltration in SCC is a significant feature with potential clinical relevance.
Further research is warranted to fully elucidate the diagnostic and prognostic implications of eosinophils in SCC.
