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 ...

Longitudinal Swallowing and Salivary Changes With CLR 131 and Re‐Irradiation in Recurrent Head and Neck Cancer

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Patients with recurrent head and neck cancer (HNC) often present with severe, persistent dysphagia and xerostomia following prior chemoradiation. Although swallowing impairments and salivary dysfunction have been reported in this population, prior longitudinal studies have not examined changes in salivary composition or how these ...

Variations in Treatment Prescription and Survival Outcomes Between Older and Younger Patients With Mucosal Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma Treated With Radiotherapy

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose To investigate treatment variations and outcomes between older (≥ 70 years) and younger (< 70 years) patients with mucosal head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (mHNSCC) treated with radiotherapy. Methods A multicenter retrospective review of patients diagnosed from 2010 to 2018 was conducted.

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.

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).
