Late side effects of radiation treatment for head and neck cancer
Patients undergoing radiation therapy for head and neck cancer (HNC) experience significant early and long-term side effects. The likelihood and severity of complications depends on a number of factors, including the total dose of radiation delivered ...

De novo head and neck cancer after liver transplant with antibody-based immunosuppression induction [PDF]
Background Powerful antibody-based immunosuppression induction is now used routinely during organ transplantation, and may place patients at even higher risk of post-transplant cancer.

Platinum-based chemotherapy plus cetuximab in head and neck cancer.
BACKGROUND Cetuximab is effective in platinum-resistant recurrent or metastatic squamous-cell carcinoma of the head and neck. We investigated the efficacy of cetuximab plus platinum-based chemotherapy as first-line treatment in patients with recurrent or

Second primary cancer risk - the impact of applying different definitions of multiple primaries: results from a retrospective population-based cancer registry study [PDF]
Background: There is evidence that cancer survivors are at increased risk of second primary cancers. Changes in the prevalence of risk factors and diagnostic techniques may have affected more recent risks.<p></p> Methods: We examined the

Feature Gradient Flow for Interpreting Deep Neural Networks in Head and Neck Cancer Prediction [PDF]
This paper introduces feature gradient flow, a new technique for interpreting deep learning models in terms of features that are understandable to humans. The gradient flow of a model locally defines nonlinear coordinates in the input data space representing the information the model is using to make its decisions.
