Cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2) and p-Akt1 are associated with tumor spreading, cell proliferation, high metabolism, and angiogenesis in solid tumors. This study aimed to investigate COX-2 and p-Akt1 expression in primary and metastatic melanomas, through correlation with the cellular proliferation index (as revealed by minichromosome maintenance 2 [Mcm-2] expression) and the outcome of patients…
Melanoma is a neoplasm derived of melanocytes that is associated with aggressive clinical behavior and mainly by the high propensity for metastatic spread, which results in a poor prognosis. This tumor shows a heterogeneous clinical course. Patients with non-metastatic form of the disease (stage I and II) shows an overall survival rate of 97-53% in 5 years, however, in patients with metas…
FOP currently has seven Graduate Programs. At the last evaluation by CAPES, corresponding to the three-yearperiod of 2010 - 2013, four programs of our School received grades of Excellence for Graduate programs, threewere 6 and one 7. This performance leaves FOP in a very comfortable position, considering Graduate Courses.From all Brazilian Graduate Courses with excellence grades (CAPES 6 …

Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma (OSCC) accounts for the great majority of the malignancies in the oral cavity, with 300,000 new cases for year, representing one of the sixth most common types of Cancer in the world. The prognostic perspectives for patients are cloudy, with a 5-years survival rate of only 50% after diagnosis, with small advances in the past three decades. Despite the advances…
Melanoma is a neoplasm derived of melanocytes that is associated with aggressive clinical behavior and mainly by the high propensity for metastatic spread, which results in a poor prognosis. Several molecules have been identified as having important roles to play in invasion and metastasis processes. Akt is associated with cell survival, metabolism regulation, migration and apoptosis. Rec…
The oral cancer represents 7% of human cancers, where the squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is the most common type. The transition from normal mucosa to invasive carcinoma has a complex multistep and multifactorial etiology. The mucosal changes that precede the occurrence of a malignant lesion have a great interest in this context, where the oral potentially malignant lesions (PMLs) are the …

Previous studies described the role of specific microbes in the development of cutaneous melanoma. However, no studies have correlated the skin microbiome with clinical outcomes or measures of immune response in patients with metastatic melanomas. The main goal of this project is to understand how the microbiota and inflammatory infiltrate influence the metastatic process of cutaneous mel…
