Treatment With the Shaker Head‐Lift Exercise in Head and Neck Cancer Patients With Radiation‐Induced Dysphagia: 12‐Month Results on Swallowing Function From a Randomized, Controlled Trial

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Dysphagia is a common side‐effect after radiotherapy in head and neck cancer patients. This randomized study aimed to evaluate the effect of the shaker head‐lift exercise (HLE) after 12 months with flexible endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES). Methods Patients were randomly assigned to the intervention (n = 30) or the control

Human Papillomavirus Testing for Precancerous Lesions of the Cervix [PDF]

North Carolina Medical Journal, 2007
As new technologies are introduced that increase the sensitivity of detecting patients at risk and the incidence of cervical cancer continues to decrease in the US, annual screening for this disease may actually be overscreening. It has been shown that the screening interval can safely be increased to every 2 years if liquid-based testing is performed ...

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.

Pattern of Failure in Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma After Radiotherapy in a Low‐Incidence Population: A DAHANCA Study

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is uncommon in many populations. Most existing clinical evidence comes from endemic areas, where Epstein–Barr virus (EBV)‐associated subtypes predominate. We analyzed patterns of failure in a population‐based cohort from Denmark, a low‐incidence setting.

Predicting Oral Cancer From Precursor Lesions: The Case for a Standardized Framework of Analysis to Improve Prediction Modeling

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Oral Cancer often occurs from the transformation of precursor lesions, and this offers an opportunity for early detection. Current methods to assess risk of precursor lesion progression to oral cancer incompletely predict risk. A multimodal framework that leverages machine learning is needed to improve prediction.

Barriers and Facilitators to the Implementation of the Weekend‐70 Cervical Cancer Screening Programme in Mali: A Multiple Case Study

The International Journal of Health Planning and Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Cervical cancer (CC) represents a significant public health issue in low‐ and middle‐income countries. In Mali, the Weekend‐70 cervical cancer screening programme, initially implemented in Bamako (the capital), is gradually being rolled out in other regions.
