Visualization of small glottic laryngeal cancer using methyl-labeled C-11-methionine positron emission tomography

, 2009
Despite abundant literature on the use of PET in head and neck cancer, a little is known about the visualization of small laryngeal cancer. Moreover, most literature deals with the radiopharmaceutical F-18-fludeoxyglucose (FDG), whereas only a few papers

Association between Laryngeal Squamous Cell Carcinoma and Polymorphisms in Tumor Necrosis Factor Related Apoptosis Induce Ligand (TRAIL), TRAIL Receptor and sTRAIL Levels

, 2014
The laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) is one of the most common malignant tumors occurring in the head and neck. Tumor necrosis factor related apoptosis induce ligand (TRAIL) and TRAIL-receptors (DR4, DR5, DcR1, DcR2) are known as important ...

Case Report: Large Cell Neuroendocrine Carcinoma of the Palatine Tonsil in a 76‐Year‐Old Patient

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (LCNEC) of the palatine tonsil is an extremely rare malignancy characterized by an aggressive clinical course and poor prognosis. Its nonspecific presentation often delays diagnosis. Methods We present the case of a 76‐year‐old female patient admitted to the Emergency Department with throat ...

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

Cardiovascular disease incidence and cancer risk in two large European prospective cohorts

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
What's New? Cardiovascular disease (CVD) and cancer share risk factors and biological mechanisms, raising questions about potential associations between the two, particularly regarding CVD duration and cancer onset. Whether CVD influences subsequent cancer risk, however, remains inconclusive.

Risk of Head and Neck Cancer in Former Smokers by Subsite: A Multicenter Analysis From the INHANCE Consortium

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
Tobacco use and alcohol consumption are primary risk factors for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, with combined use occurring in three‐quarters of cases. This large international study of former smokers shows that the risk reduction effect of smoking cessation occurs more slowly for laryngeal cancer than for other head and neck cancer subsites ...
