Social Determinants of Health in Patients Undergoing Osteocutaneous Free Flap Reconstruction for Malignant Disease of the Mandible

open access: yesHead &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Social determinants of health (SDH), such as race, language, and insurance status, may impact access to surgical care and postoperative outcomes. This study investigates the role of SDH in patients undergoing osteocutaneous free flap reconstruction for mandibular defects due to oral cavity malignancy.

Detection of Circulating Cancer‐Associated Fibroblasts in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma and Their Impact on Circulating Tumor Cells

open access: yesHead &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Like tumor cells, cancer‐associated fibroblasts (CAFs) can enter the bloodstream and may function in systemic circulation. Methods Circulating CAFs (cCAFs) were isolated from the peripheral blood of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) patients using CD45 depletion and detected by FAP expression using RT‐qPCR.

Application of a Saliva‐Based Liquid Biopsy for the Detection of HPV in Patients With Oral Cavity Squamous Cell Carcinoma (OCSCC)

open access: yesHead &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Human papilloma virus (HPV) is a DNA virus capable of infecting mucous membranes. In most cases, the infection is cleared by the immune system, but a prolonged exposure to HPV can progress to cancer. 40%–60% of head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC) are linked to HPV, which is considered a risk factor especially among young ...

Does Modified 5‐Item Frailty Index Correlate With Survival in Oropharyngeal Squamous Cell Carcinoma?

open access: yesHead &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Oropharyngeal squamous cell cancer (OPSCC) is a common subtype of head and neck cancer. It is generally stratified into high, intermediate, and low risk prognostic groups on the basis of HPV (human papillomavirus) status and smoking history (Ang risk stratification).

Human Papillomavirus Types in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinomas Worldwide: A Systematic Review

open access: yesCancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers and Prevention, 2005
Mucosal human papillomaviruses (HPV) are the cause of cervical cancer and likely a subset of head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC), yet the global prevalence and type distribution of HPV in HNSCC remains unclear.
