Opis:
Introduction: The aim of the study was to analyze the profile of patients who reported for free screening examinations during the 4th European Head and Neck Cancer Awareness Week to the Department of Otolaryngology, Miedzylesie Specialist Hospital, Warsaw, Poland. Material and methods: We enrolled 225 patients, aged 26-92 years (mean, 63 years). There were 149 women (66%) and 76 men (34%). All patients filled out a survey regarding risk factors of head and neck cancer (HNC), including symptoms and lifestyle characteristics. Subsequently, all participants underwent a complete laryngological examination. Results: Among the studied patients, we found the following lifestyle-related risk factors of HNC: tobacco use (22%), alcohol use more than 1 time per week (12%), oral sex (17%), multiple sexual partners (10%), rare dental checkups (24%), and dental prostheses (45%). The most frequent symptoms that prompted the patients to report for screening exams were as follows: chronic hoarseness (64%), xerostomia (39%), dysphagia (37%), nasal congestion (6%), and neck tumor (5%). Further imaging studies were ordered in 15 patients (7%), fiberoscopy in 25 (11%), and lesion excision in 18 (8%). Among the studied patients, 17 were referred for further oncological treatment, of whom 14 had benign tumors and 4 malignant tumors. Conclusions: The Head and Neck Cancer Awareness campaign increased the awareness of HNC, and it should systematically encompass people at increased risk. By implementing this program in our department, we were able to detect and initiate early treatment in 7.5% of the screened people. However, appropriate workup and treatment require funding and therefore systemic measures should be taken to enable a wide implementation of such screening programs.

Opis:
Introduction. Cancer is a complex pathological process that develops in the human body, destroying healthy cells progressively and leading to significant limitations in functioning and severe pain, sometimes persissitng even with the aid of painkillers. Cancerous diseases of the head and neck organs significantly reduce the quality of life compared to the population of healthy people. Aim. The aim of this study was to show whether smoking, alcohol and HPV are risk factors for head and neck cancer. Materials and methods. The study was conducted among 149 patients diagnosed with head and neck cancer in the Clinical Outpatient Center of Oncology Center in Gliwice with the consent of this heaktcare facility. The study used a questionnaire containing 38 questions. The study was carried out from November 2016 to January 2017. Results. The analysis of the results did not confirm that smoking, alcohol and HPV are the main risk factors for head and neck cancer. A large number of respodents did not answer the questions , which suggests patients' lack of knowledge or their denial of the harmfulness of the above-mentioned addictions. Conclusions. The majority of respondents were aware of the harmfulness of smoking and its effect on the development of cancer. However, they were not aware of the impact of drinking alcohol on the development of cancer. Most of the subjects knew what HPV is. However, the majority of respondents did not know that HPV belongs to oncogenic viruses. Smoking cigarettes differentiated their awareness of the impact of smoking on the development of cancer.
Wstęp. Choroba nowotworowa to złożony proces patologiczny, który rozwija się w ludzkim organizmie, który niszcząc zdrowe komórki prowadzi progresywnie do znacznych ograniczeń w funkcjonowaniu oraz znacznych dolegliwości bólowych, czasem nieustępujących po lekach przeciwbólowych. Choroba nowotworowa narządów głowy i szyi w znaczny sposób obniża jakość życia w porównaniu do populacji osób zdrowych. Cel. Celem tego badania była ocena wiedzy pacjentów na temat czynników ryzyka związanych ze stylem życia, a występowaniem chorób nowotworowych głowy i szyi. Materiał i metody. Badanie przeprowadzono wśród 149 pacjentów, u których rozpoznano chorobę nowotworową głowy i szyi w Przyklinicznej Przychodni Centrum Onkologii w Gliwicach za zgodą tejże palcówki. W badaniu posłużono się autorska ankietą zawierającą w 38 pytań. Badanie realizowano od listopada 2016 r. do stycznia 2017r. Wyniki. Analiza wyników nie potwierdziła, że palenie wyrobów tytoniowych, picie alkoholu i wirus HPV są głównymi czynnikami ryzyka chorób nowotworowych głowy i szyi. Spora ilość zaznaczanych odpowiedzi to nie udzielenie odpowiedzi, co sugeruje o braku wiedzy pacjentów lub wyparcia przez nich szkodliwości w/w nałogów. Wnioski. Badani w zdecydowanej większości byli świadomi szkodliwości palenia papierosów i jego wpływu na powstanie choroby nowotworowej. Nie mieli natomiast świadomości wpływu picia alkoholu na rozwój choroby nowotworowej. Większość badanych wiedziała, czym jest wirus HPV. Natomiast badani w większości nie mieli wiedzy, że wirus HPV należy do onkogennych. Palenie papierosów kiedykolwiek przez badanych różnicowało ich świadomość wpływu palenia papierosów na powstanie choroby nowotworowej.

Introduction: Microvascular free tissue transfer enables the reconstruction of complex head and neck defects. The aim of the study was to assess the results of treatment of patients undergoing reconstructive surgery and to identify factors affecting these results, with particular reference to patient’s age. Materials and Methods: All patients who underwent free-flap head and neck reconstruction in our institution between 2010 and 2017 were included in this retrospective study. A series of 66 patients met the inclusion criteria and were divided into 2 age groups: group G1 aged <65 years (n = 41) and group G2 aged ≥65 years (n = 25). Minor local complications and general complications as well as comorbidities were analyzed. Results: No correlation was found between advanced age and the risk of free flap failure as well as the incidence of local minor complications. General complications were more frequent in the G2 group (32%) than in the G1 group (19.5%), although this is not a statistically significant difference. A statistically significant difference was found between the age and the patient’s health status according to ASA (P = 0.010). In the younger low-risk group, 12 patients (29.3%) had general and local complications, while in the older low-risk group only 1 (4%). General and local complications were found in 5 (12.2%) high-risk G1 patients and in 7 (28%) high-risk G2 patients. Conclusion(s): Patients with advanced head and neck malignant tumors should undergo reconstructive microsurgery regardless of age.

Opis:
Introduction: Radiotherapy (RT) for patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) affects vital functions related to the irradiation volume of the head and neck region and, in addition, has a negative impact on social functioning, thereby significantly impairing patients’ quality of life (QoL). Aim: The aim of this study was to assess changes in the quality of life in patients with head and neck cancer treated with curative RT at 12 months after completion of RT. The aim of this study was to assess the differences between the baseline QoL of patients with early clinical stage HNSCC and at 12 months after curative/radical RT. Material and methods: The prospective clinical study included 92 patients in good general condition (ECOG 0–1 – Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status), without regional or distant metastases, diagnosed with pathomorphologically confirmed early-stage head and neck squamous cell carcinoma treated with definitive RT. All patients participating in the study signed an informed consent form. QoL was assessed using the standard EORTC QLQ-C30 and QLQH&N35 questionnaires. In addition, information on clinical aspects and data relating to socio-demographic factors were obtained from each patient. Statistical analysis was performed using a statistical package (SPSS 17.0). T-test was used for dependent and independent samples. A general linear model was used for repeated measures. Results: Patients’ QoL deteriorated significantly after definitive RT. Worse QoL Core-30 scores in patients 12 months after the end of RT, compared with baseline QoL, before the start of RT, were observed in domains such as physical performance, fulfillment of life roles, cognitive functioning, loss of appetite, fatigue and constipation. For the QLQ-H&N35 questionnaires, patients 12 months after the end of RT reported problems in relation to aspects of life such as senses, mouth opening, dry mouth, thick saliva, pain, and weight loss. Conclusion: RT, even in early clinical stage head and neck cancer, has a negative impact on QoL, despite modern treatment techniques.

Opis:
Introduction and objective. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are proteolytic enzymes responsible for the decomposition of extracellular matrix elements. They play an important role during embryogenesis, wound healing, endometrial epithelial exfoliation, the formation of new blood vessels, and also during cancer development. Throat and larynx tumours are included in a large group of head and neck cancers. These tumours are characterized by a poor prognosis. Despite advances in medical science, cancer treatment is difficult and often ineffective. The aim of the study was to evaluate the level of MMP-3 and MMP-9 in the serum and saliva of patients with pharynx and larynx tumours. Materials and method. Samples of saliva and serum were collected from 60 patients with larynx or throat cancer. Twenty patients without cancer comprised the control group. MMPs in saliva and serum were determined by the ELISA method. Results. In the study group, concentrations of MMP-3 in saliva were from 0.2 – 77.6 ng/ml. Patients with malignant tumours had higher saliva MMP-3 levels than healthy subjects. The concentration of MMP-3 in the serum of the study group ranged from 10.9 – 200.00 ng/ml, which was also higher than in the control group. There were no statistically significant difference in the MMP-9 level between the study and control groups (both in serum and saliva). Conclusions. This study is another element that shows the phenomena taking place at the cellular level during oncological disease. In serum and saliva samples, higher values of MMP3 were found in patients with cancer. The increase in the concentration of this enzyme in the risk group may be used for early detection of tumour transformation and evaluation of treatment.

Opis:
Exosomes are membrane vesicles of endocytic origin that participate in inter-cellular communication. Environmental and physiological conditions affect composition of secreted exosomes, their abundance and potential influence on recipient cells. Here, we analyzed protein component of exosomes released in vitro from cells exposed to ionizing radiation (2Gy dose) and compared their content with composition of exosomes released from control not irradiated cells. Exosomes secreted from FaDu cells originating from human squamous head and neck cell carcinoma were analyzed using LC-MS/MS approach. We have found that exposure to ionizing radiation resulted in gross changes in exosomal cargo. There were 217 proteins identified in exosomes from control cells and 384 proteins identified in exosomes from irradiated cells, including 148 "common" proteins, 236 proteins detected specifically after irradiation and 69 proteins not detected after irradiation. Among proteins specifically overrepresented in exosomes from irradiated cells were those involved in transcription, translation, protein turnover, cell division and cell signaling. This indicated that exosomal cargo reflected radiation-induced changes in cellular processes like transient suppression of transcription and translation or stress-induced signaling.

Opis:
Advanced head and neck squamous cell cancers (HNSCC) have unfavorable prognosis and new therapeutic options are necessary to improve treatment outcomes. The Wnt pathway plays an important role in the pathogenesis and progression of HNSCC. The aim of this study was to assess the effects of a histone deacetylase inhibitor – panobinostat on Wnt-dependent gene expression and on cell migration. Cell viability in HNSCC cell lines (BICR6, CAL27, FaDu, H314, SCC-25) was evaluated by MTT assay. The expression of β-catenin-target genes was assessed by qPCR and TCF/LEF-dependent reporter assay. Protein content was evaluated by Western blot. Cell migration was analyzed by the wound healing assay. Panobinostat showed differential modulation of gene expression. It reduced the level of Axin2 in CAL27 and SCC-25 cells but upregulated its expression in BICR6 and H314 cell lines. Moreover, it diminished the expression of MMP7 in BICR6, H314 and CAL27 cell lines. In contrast, the inhibitor of β-catenin transcriptional activity – PKF118-310 down-regulated the expression of β-catenin-target genes in HNSCC cell lines. Interestingly, panobinostat had opposite effects on cell migration in CAL27 and FaDu where it inhibited or stimulated migration, respectively. On the other hand, PKF118-310 reduced cell migration. The anti-cancer effects of panobinostat in HNSCC cells are rather not related to the inhibition of Wnt signaling. PKF118-310 attenuates Wnt signaling, but only in a limited number of HNSCC cell lines. Importantly, the inhibition of Wnt pathway reduces the capacity of cells for migration suggesting that it may potentially therapeutically reduce cell invasion.

Opis:
Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is one of the leading cancers by incidence worldwide. The risk of these cancers is strictly associated with alkylation factors present in tobacco smoke. The crucial role in preventing DNA alkylation is played by O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT). Dysfunction or lack of MGMT is associated with an increased risk of cancer. The aim of the study was to assess the influence of MGMT polymorphisms: rs12917 and rs11016879 on HNSCC risk and course. The study consisted of 69 HNSCC patients and 242 healthy individuals. Case samples were taken from resected tumour tissue. The control group comprised samples of epithelial cells collected from mucous membranes using swabs. DNA samples were genotyped by employing the 5' nuclease assay for allelic discrimination using TaqMan SNP Genotyping Assays. The significance between distributions of genotypes and alleles was tested using Pearson's χ2 test analysis. Our results indicated that the MGMT rs12917 TT genotype increases the risk of HNSCC. The MGMT rs11016879 AG genotype and A allele were associated with increased HNSCC risk. We noted higher risk of nodal metastasis in rs11016879 AA homozygotes. Mechanisms leading to MGMT enzymatic defect are unknown and hence further studies need to be carried out. Our data suggest that the examined polymorphisms may be considered as potential prognostic factors for HNSCC risk and outcome. Further studies are necessary to verify our results.

Berberine (BBR) an active natural plant alkaloid extracted from Coptidis rhizoma, displays potent anticancer activity over a variety of cancer cell lines. The cytotoxic activity of BBR in cancer cells is attributed to persuade, programmed cell death characterized by the release of cytochrome c, accompanied by activation of caspase-3 and caspase-9. In the present study, we evaluated BBR significantly reduces the cell viability and clonogenic property of head and neck squamous carcinoma (HNSC) cells. Our results revealed that BBR simultaneously induces apoptosis and autophagy in HNSC cells. Mechanistically, BBR induces autophagy in HNSC cells which were confirmed by acridine orange (AO) staining by visualization of prominent orange red color acidic autophagosomes in the cytoplasm. However, immunoblotting shows the steady conversion of MAP-LC-3I to LC-3II with concomitant degradation of autophagy substrate protein SQSTM1/p62. Annexin V FITC staining analysis by flow cytometry revealed a significant induction of apoptosis at higher doses of BBR. Furthermore, the immunoblotting analysis revealed a prominent cleavage of proapoptotic proteins procaspase-3 and PARP1 at higher doses of BBR. Additionally, we found significant upregulation and downregulation of tumor suppressor microRNA-155 (miR-155) and oncogenic miR-21 respectively, when HNSC cells were exposed to higher doses of BBR. In conclusion, these results demonstrate that BBR exhibits a significant anti-proliferative effect with the simultaneous induction of autophagy and apoptosis and modulates miRNA expression in HNSC cells.

Material and Method: Seven patients after oropharyngeal cancer surgery with free flap reconstruction hospitalized from January to September 2016 in the ENT Department of Warsaw Medical University were included in this study. All patients underwent few times after surgery: clinical swallowing examination, water swallowing screening test and fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing and/or videofluoroscopy. Results: All patients were diagnosed with dysphagia and had unitentional weight loss (average 5,9% of initial weight during 3 months). In water swallowing test only three participant achieved negative score for 5 ml, and two for 10 ml, 20 ml and 90 ml of water. Fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing was analyzed for swallowing patterns and laryngeal pathology. FEES showed following abnormalities: aspiration (saliva, liquid), penetration (puree, liquid), premature swallowing (liquid, puree) and multiswallowing (liquid, puree, solid food), retention (saliva, puree, liquid, solid food). Videofluroscopy showed on the first place problems with oral phase of swallowing: difficulty forming and propeling bolus, tongue pumping movements, oral cavity residue, premature spillage and delayed oral onset. During the pharyngeal phase we observed: residue in valleculae and piriform sinuses, reduced laryngeal elevation, penetration and aspiration, multiple swallows. Conclusion: Instrumental assessment of swallowing helps during diagnostic and therapeutic process of patients with dysphagia after oncological treatment. a.

Opis:
Radiotherapy causes molecular changes observed at the level of body fluids, which are potential biomarker candidates for assessment of radiation exposure. Here we analyzed radiotherapy-induced changes in a profile of small metabolites detected in sera of head and neck cancer patients using the gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry approach. There were about 20 compounds, including carboxylic acids, sugars, amines and amino acids, whose levels significantly differed between pre-treatment and post-treatment samples. Among metabolites upregulated by radiotherapy there was 3-hydroxybutyric acid, whose level increased about three times in post-treatment samples. Moreover, compounds affected by irradiation were associated with several metabolic pathways, including protein biosynthesis and amino acid metabolism.

Purpose: The purpose of the study was to examine the effect of using videos during enteral feeding training on the level of relevant knowledge and practice. Materials and methods: A randomized controlled quasi-experimental, post-test research design was used. We included 33 patients and relatives in the video group while 31 patients their relatives in the control group. In video group, the video recording was shown to the relatives in addition to verbal training however only verbal training was given in the control group. The relatives’ level of knowledge and practice score was evaluated. Results: Mean enteral feeding knowledge scores of patient relatives were found to be 76.7 ± 7.97 in the video group and 42.1 ± 12.57 in the control group. Mean enteral feeding practice scores were as follows: 19.64 ± 3.3 for the video group and 13 ± 3.63 for the control group. Conclusions: It was concluded that the enteral feeding training provided by using the video method increased the knowledge and practice levels of patient relatives. Implications for Practice: Video material prepared for the clinic will be a guide for clinical nurses and help them in their enteral feeding training and care planning.

Opis:
Background: Head and neck neoplasms stand for 6% of all malignant neoplasms worldwide. Chemotherapy has limited use due to the biological properties of the tumor (in the majority of cases moderately and poorly differentiated squamous cell carcinoma). The fundamental molecule used in treatment is cisplatin and its derivates, that can be associated with fluorouracil. The new chemotherapeutic agents are not in common use during the treatment of head and neck malignancies. However, the use of low molecular weight complexes Pd (II) carries the potential of being more effective in therapy. Material and Methods: Fifty-one patients, 30 men and 21 women (aged 52.9 ± 12.1 years) with head and neck cancer were included in the study. Fifty-one healthy subjects, 31 men and 20 women, (aged 54.1 ± 14.7 years) years formed the control group. Antioxidant enzymes, superoxide dismutase, and catalase activities in erythrocytes were examined. Results: An increased level of antioxidant enzymes was seen in the blood samples from patients with head and neck cancer after incubation with Pd (II) complex. In the group we obtained a statistically significant result p = <0.001. Discussion: That project may contribute to the development of new, more efficient head and neck cancer treatment strategies. In our opinion, the results can be used in the future to develop a valuable prognostic marker of the disease. This is important because the initial phase of cancer is asymptomatic. The search for factors involved in pathogenesis translates into economic benefits and makes therapy more effectiveness through the reduction of treatment expenses.
