Cervical lymph node metastasis in oral cancer: the importance of even microscopic extracapsular spreadJ A Woolgar
Oral Pathology Laboratory, Liverpool University Dental Hospital, Pembroke Place, Liverpool L3 5PS, UK
Oral Oncol 39:130-7. 2003..Extracapsular spread should be incorporated into pathological staging systems. Even microscopic extracapsular spread is of critical importance and must be sought especially in small-volume metastatic disease...
Determinants of outcome following surgery for oral squamous cell carcinomaJulia A Woolgar
Oral Pathology, University of Liverpool Dental Hospital, Liverpool, UK
Future Oncol 5:51-61. 2009....
Pitfalls and procedures in the histopathological diagnosis of oral and oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma and a review of the role of pathology in prognosisJulia Anne Woolgar
Oral Pathology, School of Dental Sciences and Dental Hospital, University of Liverpool, Pembroke Place, Liverpool L3 5PS, UK
Oral Oncol 45:361-85. 2009..The article concludes with a brief consideration of the prognostic value of accurate histopathological staging...
The topography of cervical lymph node metastases revisited: the histological findings in 526 sides of neck dissection from 439 previously untreated patientsJ A Woolgar
Oral Pathology, Liverpool University Dental Hospital, Pembroke Place, Liverpool L3 5PS, UK
Int J Oral Maxillofac Surg 36:219-25. 2007..4%), peppering (2%), flushing of lymph node sinuses (1%) and all nodes positive (0.4%) accounted for the remaining 'aberrant' patterns. Skip lesions were seen in tumours at all sites other than retromolar...
Salvage neck dissections in oral and oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma: histological features in relation to disease categoryJ A Woolgar
Oral Pathology, Liverpool University Dental Hospital, Pembroke Place, Liverpool L3 5PS, UK
Int J Oral Maxillofac Surg 35:907-12. 2006..In at least 15% of cases, the short time interval coupled with the histopathological features suggested that the metastatic disease suddenly became more rapidly progressive following removal of the primary tumour...
The national head and neck histopathology external quality assurance scheme: evolution, design, and analysis of 11 circulations from 1999 to 2005J A Woolgar
J Clin Pathol 59:482-8. 2006..The stringent marking of cases, and the flagging of performances showing "a meaningful deviation in standard" based on the decision of peer members rather than a rigid numerical formula, encourages high standards...
Histopathological prognosticators in oral and oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinomaJulia A Woolgar
Oral Pathology, Liverpool University Dental Hospital, Pembroke Place, Liverpool L3 5PS, United Kingdom
Oral Oncol 42:229-39. 2006....
Histological changes in intra-oral skin flapsJulia Anne Woolgar
Oral Pathology, School of Dental Sciences and Dental Hospital, University of Liverpool, Pembroke Place, Liverpool L3 5PS, UK
Head Neck Oncol 1:2. 2009..Problems in recognising and interpreting unfamiliar and complex appearances, and areas of diagnostic and prognostic uncertainty, are highlighted...
A histopathological appraisal of surgical margins in oral and oropharyngeal cancer resection specimensJulia Anne Woolgar
Oral Pathology, Liverpool University Dental Hospital, Pembroke Place, Liverpool L3 5PS, UK
Oral Oncol 41:1034-43. 2005..Both anatomical factors and histological "markers" of tumour characteristics influence the status of surgical resection margins...
Quantitative methylation analysis of resection margins and lymph nodes in oral squamous cell carcinomaRichard J Shaw
Molecular Genetics and Oncology Group, School of Dental Sciences, University of Liverpool, Liverpool L69 3GN, UK
Br J Oral Maxillofac Surg 45:617-22. 2007..PMA upgraded 13 of the 20 surgical margins, 6 of which subsequently had a recurrent tumour. Not all of these recurrences were predicted and the effects of adjuvant treatment make firm conclusions difficult...
The influence of the pattern of mandibular invasion on recurrence and survival in oral squamous cell carcinomaRichard J Shaw
Regional Maxillofacial Unit, University Hospital Aintree, Lower Lane, Aintree, Liverpool L9 7AL, United Kingdom
Head Neck 26:861-9. 2004..Many authors have questioned increasing the classification of small tumors to T4 on the basis of mandibular invasion alone. There are little data on the influence of the pattern of invasion on prognosis...
CpG island methylation phenotype (CIMP) in oral cancer: associated with a marked inflammatory response and less aggressive tumour biologyRichard J Shaw
Molecular Genetics and Oncology Group, School of Dental Sciences, University of Liverpool, Liverpool L69 3GN, UK
Oral Oncol 43:878-86. 2007..As CIMP has significant associations with other well documented prognostic indicators, it may prove beneficial to include methylation analyses in molecular risk modelling of tumours...
