Neuroendocrine Carcinoma of the Head and Neck: A Two‐Decade Institutional Experience

World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives Primary neuroendocrine carcinoma (NEC) of the head and neck is rare (< 1% of cases) and aggressive, with poorly defined management strategies. This study evaluated clinical characteristics, treatment patterns, and survival outcomes in a single‐institution cohort, identifying factors associated with improved survival.

Quantitative Dual‐Energy CT Perfusion Versus SPECT/CT V/Q Scintigraphy for Preoperative Lung Function Assessment: A Prospective Cohort Study

Journal of Medical Imaging and Radiation Oncology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Accurate preoperative physiological assessment is critical for high‐risk patients undergoing lung resection to predict postoperative lung function. This study compared quantitative dual‐energy CT (DECT) perfusion with SPECT/CT for lobar perfusion mapping in an at‐risk oncological cohort.
