Treatment with YIGSR peptide ameliorates mouse tail lymphedema by 67 kDa laminin receptor (67LR)-dependent cell-cell adhesion

Biochemistry and Biophysics Reports, 2023
Impaired microcirculation can cause lymphatic leakage which leads to a chronic swelling in the tissues of the body. However, no successful treatment gives any protection against lymphedema due to the lack of well-revealed pathophysiology of secondary ...

Robot-Assisted Lymph Node-to-Vein Anastomosis: Lessons from the First 22 Cases at a High-Volume Lymphatic Supermicrosurgery Center

Current Oncology
(1) Background: Lymphedema is a common but underrecognized sequela of cancer treatment. Supermicrosurgical procedures such as lymphaticovenular anastomosis (LVA) and, more recently, lymph node-to-vein anastomosis (LNVA) have emerged as effective options ...

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).

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
