“…More recent studies have confirmed the prognostic value of tumor budding in laryngeal cancer. 12 Moreover, in recent reports on early stage of oral cancers, Sakata et al 31 and Shimizu et al 30 found that tumor budding being a reliable prognostic marker for nodal metastasis. Similar results on the significance of tumor budding were reported in an independent cohort of hypopharyngeal SCC by Imai et al, 11 and also for pharyngeal SCC by Karpathiou et al 34 Specifically, identification of high intensity of tumor budding in HNSCC has been associated with metastasis to cervical lymph nodes.…”

Hallmarks of cancer: Tumor budding as a sign of invasion and metastasis in head and neck cancer

et al. 2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Invasion and metastasis are hallmarks of cancer. The concept of tumor budding at tumor‐host interface has been documented in many carcinomas. A growing body of evidence indicates that tumor budding is a sign of invasion and early step for metastasis of many epithelial cancers including head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). In addition, recent research has underlined the importance of tumor budding as a promising prognosticator in HNSCC. This review summarizes the findings regarding tumor budding in HNSCC and focuses on the role of tumor budding in invasion and metastasis. Also, we highlight the prognostic significance of tumor budding in HNSCC and its potential for improving clinical decision making in terms of recommending optimal individualized treatment for this patient population.

Background Focal adhesion kinase (FAK) and cortactin overexpression is frequently detected in a variety of cancers, and has been associated with poor clinical outcome. However, there are no data in cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC). Objective To investigate the relationship of FAK and cortactin expression with the clinicopathologic features and the impact on the prognosis of cSCC patients. Methods FAK and cortactin expression was analyzed by immunohistochemistry on paraffin‐embedded tissue samples from 100 patients with cSCC, and correlated with the clinical data. Results FAK overexpression was a significant risk factor for nodal metastasis with crude and adjusted ratios (HRs) of 2.04, (95% CI [1.08‐3.86], [P = 0.029]) and 2.23 (95% CI [1.01‐4.91], [P = 0.047]), respectively. Cortactin expression was not a significant risk factor for nodal metastasis. Conclusion These findings demonstrate that FAK overexpression is an independent predictor of nodal metastasis that might be helpful for risk stratification and management of patients with cSCC.

Association of Patient Risk Factors, Tumor Characteristics, and Treatment Modality With Poor Outcomes in Primary Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma

et al. 2023

ImportancePrimary cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma is usually curable; however, a subset of patients develops poor outcomes, including local recurrence, nodal metastasis, distant metastasis, and disease-specific death.ObjectivesTo evaluate all evidence-based reports of patient risk factors and tumor characteristics associated with poor outcomes in primary cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma and to identify treatment modalities that minimize poor outcomes.Data SourcesPubMed, Embase, and SCOPUS databases were searched for studies of the topic in humans, published in the English language, from database inception through February 8, 2022.Study SelectionTwo authors independently screened the identified articles and included those that were original research with a sample size of 10 patients or more and that assessed risk factors and/or treatment modalities associated with poor outcomes among patients with primary cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma.Data Extraction and SynthesisData extraction was performed by a single author, per international guidelines. The search terms, study objectives, and protocol methods were defined before study initiation. A total of 310 studies were included for full-text assessment. Owing to heterogeneity of the included studies, a random-effects model was used. Data analyses were performed from May 25 to September 15, 2022.Main Outcomes and MeasuresFor studies of risk factors, risk ratios and incidence proportions; and for treatment studies, incidence proportions.ResultsIn all, 129 studies and a total of 137 449 patients with primary cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma and 126 553 tumors were included in the meta-analysis. Several patient risk factors and tumor characteristics were associated with local recurrence, nodal metastasis, distant metastasis, disease-specific death, and all-cause death were identified. Among all factors reported by more than 1 study, the highest risks for local recurrence and disease-specific death were associated with tumor invasion beyond subcutaneous fat (risk ratio, 9.1 [95% CI, 2.8-29.2] and 10.4 [95% CI, 3.0- 36.3], respectively), and the highest risk of any metastasis was associated with perineural invasion (risk ratio, 5.0; 95% CI, 2.3-11.1). Patients who received Mohs micrographic surgery had the lowest incidence of nearly all poor outcomes; however, in some results, the 95% CIs overlapped with those of other treatment modalities.Conclusions and RelevanceThis meta-analysis identified the prognostic value of several risk factors and the effectiveness of the available treatment modalities. These findings carry important implications for the prognostication, workup, treatment, and follow-up of patients with primary cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma.Trial RegistrationPROSPERO Identifier: CRD42022311250
