More procedures performed at high-volume hospitals and careful certification of surgeons in clinical trials are ways to improve the quality and value in head and neck care, panelists said.
Sarcopenia Significantly Associated with Poorer Overall Survival of Patients with Head and Neck Cancers
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.
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.
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.
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.
Modified Submandibular Gland Transfer Reduces Radiation Dose, Improves Xerostomia Outcomes
What is the radiation-sparing capacity and xerostomia-reducing potential of the modified submandibular gland transfer for head and neck cancer patients who receive radiation therapy?
Surgeons Describe How They Use Fluorescence to Guide Work on Head and Neck Tumors
The use of fluorescent light to see through normal tissues down to head and neck tumors is showing promise as a way of guiding surgeons and improving margins and outcomes
When Is Surgical Intervention Indicated for Vocal Fold Leukoplakia?
Management remains controversial because there is no universally accepted consensus on the threshold for surgical intervention, appropriate treatment strategy, frequency of surveillance, and ablative versus excisional management
