Early Feasibility of Registration of Micro‐PET/CT Scans to Annotated 3D Specimen Models

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Intraoperative 18F‐fluorodeoxyglucose (18F‐FDG) micro‐positron emission tomography/computed tomography (micro‐PET/CT) is an emerging modality for margin assessment. Prior to clinical use, micro‐PET/CT margin distances must be correlated with gold‐standard histopathology.

Treatment of Retinoblastoma: The Role of External Beam Radiotherapy

Yonsei Medical Journal, 2015
The risk of radiotherapy-related secondary cancers in children with constitutional retinoblastoma 1 (RB1) mutations has led to reduced use of external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) for RB. Presently, tumor reduction with chemotherapy with or without focal surgery (chemosurgery) is most commonly undertaken; EBRT is avoided as much as possible and is ...

Twelve‐Month Outcomes of a Preventive Dysphagia Intervention in Patients With Head and Neck Cancer—A Randomized Study

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Radiation‐associated dysphagia is common after radiotherapy for head and neck cancer and may occur early or years later. The effect of preventive exercises might be undermined by poor adherence. Aim To evaluate the effect of a simple preventive exercise protocol on swallowing function up to 12 months after radiotherapy.

Treatment Outcomes in Osteosarcoma of the Head and Neck: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Head and neck osteosarcomas (HNOS) are rare, accounting for ~1% of head and neck malignancies. This study systematically evaluated the role of chemotherapy (CT) and radiotherapy (RT) on survival outcomes. Methods A systematic review and meta‐analysis were performed following PRISMA guidelines across six databases.

Bone‐Anchored Implant Survival in Oncologic Facial Prosthetic Rehabilitation

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Published survival rates for bone‐anchored craniofacial implants exceed 85%, but derive largely from mixed populations. Whether these apply to head and neck oncologic surgery remains uncertain. Methods Retrospective survival analysis of implants placed for prosthetic rehabilitation following extirpative surgery at a UK center (2005 ...

Proton beam therapy in paediatric cancer: Anticipating the opening of the Australian Bragg Centre for Proton Therapy and Research

Journal of Medical Imaging and Radiation Oncology, EarlyView., 2023
Summary Proton Beam Therapy (PBT) has the potential to improve paediatric cancer care by reducing radiation exposure and thus long‐term toxicities. Ethical concerns and debates surrounding the treatment, such as eligibility and accessibility, are ongoing in Australia. The Australian Bragg Centre for Proton Therapy and Research (ABCPTR) (named after Sir

Impact of Surgical Airways on Location of Death, Healthcare Utilization, and Costs Among Patients With Head and Neck Cancer: A Population‐Based Study

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Patients with surgical airways experience barriers to high quality end‐of‐life (EOL) care. Recognizing differences in healthcare utilization and location of death among patients with surgical airways may inform improvements in EOL care delivery.

Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy for Head and Neck Cancers With Perineural Spread

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Perineural spread (PNS) in head and neck cancer (HNC) is technically challenging due to complex target volumes adjacent to critical organs. Data on stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for PNS is scarce. Methods This retrospective study included patients treated with SBRT for PNS across two centers in the USA and Canada from ...
