Eosinophilia is a favorable prognostic marker for oral cavity and lip squamous cell carcinoma

Abstract: Eosinophils are frequently encountered with squamous cell carcinomas (SCC) and it has been proposed that tumor-associated tissue eosinophilia (TATE) could be of prognostic significance in oral SCC. The aim was to evaluate TATE in 83 oral cavity and 16 lip SCCs as well as the best possible use of TATE as a prognostic marker. The number of eosinophils was counted per high power fields (HPF, ×400) in three different representative areas of the tumor and its stroma. The degree of TATE was analyzed in relation to c… Show more

“…OSCC is a malignant tumor with poor prognosis that occurs in the head and neck region, and accounts for 90% of oral cancer cases ( 26 ). Despite the current advances in treatment strategies, the 5-year and 10-year survival rates of patients with OSCC have not significantly improved; therefore, OSCC severely impacts human health ( 27 ). Previous studies have demonstrated that dysregulation of oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes is an important factor in tumorigenesis and development ( 28 - 30 ).…”

“…33 The impact of tumor-associated tissue eosinophilia on cancer prognosis is controversial, with opposite results in different studies. 34,35 Eosinophil infiltration of breast tumor is not frequently observed. In a study conducted by Samoszuk and colleagues, the eosinophil peroxidase within or around the tumor has been observed in about 88% of breast cancer, but in none of the benign breast tissue analyzed.…”

“…However, another publication showed that the infiltration of eosinophilic tumour is a marker of poor prognosis in patients with OSCC. 15 From the result of this study, the author concluded that the existence of eosinophil in tumour might be a predictor of good outcome. In several neoplasm (such as melanoma, gastric, colorectal, and prostate tumour) eosinophils plays an antitumour effects, in another neoplasm (such as Hodgkin lymphoma) it was correlated with poor outcome.…”
