Longitudinal Swallowing and Salivary Changes With CLR 131 and Re‐Irradiation in Recurrent Head and Neck Cancer

open access: yesHead &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Patients with recurrent head and neck cancer (HNC) often present with severe, persistent dysphagia and xerostomia following prior chemoradiation. Although swallowing impairments and salivary dysfunction have been reported in this population, prior longitudinal studies have not examined changes in salivary composition or how these ...

Thermoluminescent pellets of MgB4O7:Dy evaluated for neutron dosimetry [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
To ensure the safe use of ionizing radiation, thermoluminescent crystals (TL) are extensively used as passive dosimeters (TLD). However, a limited number of TL phosphors, especially for neutron dosimetry, are available.

Visualization of Scattered Tumor Regression Following Neoadjuvant Chemoimmunotherapy With a Novel Intraoperative PET/CT Scanner

open access: yesHead &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy is being explored in locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), yet the spatial patterns of pathologic response and clinical implications remain poorly characterized. Methods A 79‐year‐old female with recurrent left oral tongue SCC (PD‐L122C3 Combined Positive Score 90) who ...
