Researchers have identified a strong association between telomerase reverse transcriptase, an antigen abundantly produced in roughly 85% of tumor cells, and elevated levels of white blood cells that produce antibodies within tumors.

Extent of surgery not associated with overall survival in patients with intermediate-sized follicular thyroid cancer; prognosis for patients with FTC is favorable, with 20-year survival rates close to 70% when appropriately treated.
Clinical and patient-reported outcomes revealed a similar presence and prevalence of dysphagia and swallow-related quality of life at subacute and long-term time points, regardless of primary treatment strategy.
An upfront Transoral Laser Microsurgery-based surgical approach to T2N0 SSCC may offer an overall survival benefit compared with definitive Radiotherapy in Patients with Early-Stage Supraglottic Squamous Cell Carcinoma.
Elective Neck Dissection does not improve survival rate but may be useful for staging and identifying candidates for treatment intensification, as well as for offering prognostic information to the patient.
Given the high rate of positive surgical margins in head and neck cancer, there is a need to improve margin analysis technique and intraoperative communication protocols.
This method combines a lateral transcervical approach to provide proximal internal carotid artery (ICA) control and early visualization without the morbidity of a maxillary swing.
Sinonasal neoplasms have a wide spectrum of histopathologies and biological behaviors, but close proximity to critical structures, such as the skull base and orbit, can make surgical resection a challenge.
Tonsillectomy for patients with IFT displaying SUVmax >9.0, ratio >1.5, or symptoms or findings suggesting malignancy is recommended.
This technique may help to further expand the role of endoscopic endonasal approach for experienced skull-base teams.
