Pretreatment sarcopenia as radiologically defined by decreased skeletal muscle index (SMI) or skeletal muscle mass (SMM) correlates with poor survival in HNC patients.
Regression Not a Negative Prognostic Indicator of Primary Cutaneous Head–Neck Melanoma
A look at the impact of regression on sentinel node status and the likelihood of recurrence in primary cutaneous melanoma of the head and neck.
Rates of Post-Transoral Robotic Surgery Hemorrhage Are Low
Although the incidence of post-TORS hemorrhage is low, large tumors, perioperative anti-coagulation, and prior radiation are associated with significantly increased risk of this event.
No Association Between Circulating Tumor Cells and Locally Advanced and Metastatic SCC of the Head and Neck Prognosis
Circulating tumor cells are not associated with prognosis in patients with locally advanced and metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN), but circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are present.
Temporal Bone Metastasis Should Be Considered in Certain Symptomatic Patients
Temporal bone metastasis (TBM) is uncommon but should be considered in patients with subacute otologic symptoms or facial palsy and history of distant malignancy.
Patient Trust Is Predictive of Comfort Level with Overlapping Surgery and Trainee Independence
Efforts to increase patient comfort with overlapping surgery and surgical training should include strategies to address past negative experiences and foster trust in trainees and the delegation process.
Transoral Laser Microsurgery Favored Over Radiotherapy in T1 Glottic Carcinoma Survival
Transoral laser microsurgery is associated with better outcomes than radiotherapy in overall survival, confidence interval, disease-specific survival, and laryngeal preservation in patients with T1 glottic carcinoma.
Analysis of Post-Endoscopic Endonasal Approach Shows Sinus Pressure When Sneezing May Depend on Anatomy
Computational fluid dynamics applied in postoperative endoscopic endonasal approach (EEA) to patients suggest that sinus pressure buildup may depend on individual anatomy.
Depth of Tumor Invasion in Early Oral Tongue Squamous Cell Carcinoma Key in Determining Therapy
A look at how pathologic features contribute to clinical outcomes of early oral tongue squamous cell carcinoma relative to tumor depth of invasion.
Evidence-Based Preoperative Testing Protocols Save Time, Money
Evidence-based preoperative assessment protocols that reduce unnecessary testing and extraneous cost without increased perioperative morbidity and mortality should be implemented into routine otolaryngology practice.
