Biomarkers of squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck.

Histology and histopathology, 1997
Despite the remarkable advances in cancer treatment, the 5-year survival rate for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) has improved only marginally over the past 20 years. Investigators have attempted to develop new therapeutic methods to improve the survival rate from these tumors. Another approach, chemoprevention, has recently been tried to

External Validation of Pre‐Treatment Primary Tumor Volume as a Prognostic Factor in Head and Neck Cancer Treated With (Chemo)Radiotherapy

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Primary tumor volume (GTVp) is a key prognostic factor in oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) treated with radiotherapy. We aimed to externally validate this association and assess its relevance in other head and neck sites.

Fluorescence‐Guided Detection of Perineural and Bony Invasion With Margin Correlation in Gingival Squamous Cell Carcinoma Using Panitumumab‐IRDye800

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Near‐infrared (NIR) fluorescence‐guided surgery using EGFR‐targeted tracers (e.g., panitumumab‐IRDye800CW) can provide real‐time visualization of tumors and margins in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma. Prior studies have demonstrated its safety and potential to improve intraoperative decision‐making and margin assessment ...

Safe Omission of Postoperative Neck Irradiation in Selected pN0 Patients With Locally Advanced Oral Cavity Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Postoperative radiotherapy is the standard treatment for locally advanced oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC); however, the indication for neck irradiation (NI) in pN0 patients remains debatable. We evaluated whether the omission of NI compromises outcomes in pT3–T4 pN0 patients treated with adequate neck dissection (ND).
