Image-enhanced endoscopy for detection of second primary esophageal squamous cell neoplasms in patients with hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma: prevalence, risk factors, and characteristics [PDF]

, 2020
Objectives: Second primary esophageal squamous cell neoplasms (ESCNs) are common in hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (HPSCC) patients and are associated with poor prognoses. The effectiveness of image-enhanced endoscopy (IEE) has not been well established.

The Development and Pilot Clinical Study of CD147 Targeted Antagonistic Peptide Probe for Tumor Imaging

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study establishes [68Ga]Ga‐DOTA‐AP9 as a first‐in‐human CD147‐targeted PET tracer with favorable safety and specific tumor uptake. Tracer accumulation correlates with CD147 expression in patients, enabling noninvasive quantification of CD147‐positive malignancies.

Cigarette Smoke Exposure Attenuates T2R‐Mediated Apoptosis in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Tobacco use is associated with worse outcomes in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Bitter taste receptor (T2R) activation induces apoptosis via calcium‐dependent signaling, and higher T2R expression correlates with increased survival in HNSCC.

Associations Between Preexisting Depression and Anxiety and Postoperative Outcomes Among Medicare Beneficiaries Undergoing Head and Neck Cancer Surgery

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Depression and anxiety are common in patients with head and neck cancer (HNC), but their impacts on postoperative outcomes after major HNC surgery are not well defined. We evaluated whether preexisting, clinically diagnosed depression or anxiety independently predicted short‐term postoperative outcomes among adults undergoing HNC ...

Incidence and Site‐Specific Risk Factors of Jaw Osteoradionecrosis for Head and Neck Patients in the IMRT/VMAT Era: Evidence From a Large, Hospital‐Based Cohort

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose Osteoradionecrosis (ORN) of the jaw remains a serious late complication of head and neck cancer (HNC) radiotherapy. Although intensity‐modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) and volumetric‐modulated arc radiotherapy (VMAT) are expected to reduce ORN risk, large real‐world data in the modern era are limited.

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.

Robotic‐Assisted Extended Sistrunk Approach (RESA) for Salvage Surgery After Head and Neck Irradiation

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The robotic‐assisted extended “Sistrunk” approach (RESA) is a minimally invasive technique providing access to hypopharyngeal and laryngeal structures via a submental incision and vallecular pharyngotomy, bypassing the base of tongue.
