Accurate and Efficient Detection of Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma Using Multi‐Dimensional Features of Plasma Cell‐Free DNA

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The incidence of Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is rising in recent years, especially in some non‐developed parts of the world. Hence, cost‐efficient means for sensitive detection of NPC are vital. Methods We recruited 646 participants, including healthy individuals, patients with benign nasopharyngeal diseases, and NPC patients for

MMFNet: A Multi-modality MRI Fusion Network for Segmentation of Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma [PDF]

arXiv, 2018
Segmentation of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) from Magnetic Resonance Images (MRI) is a crucial prerequisite for NPC radiotherapy. However, manually segmenting of NPC is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Additionally, single-modality MRI generally cannot provide enough information for its accurate delineation.

HPV‐Positive Squamous Cell Carcinoma Metastasis Without Clinical Evidence of Primary: The Posterior Oropharyngeal Wall May Be an Overlooked Location

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) can present as cancer of unknown primary, where only cervical lymph node metastases are identified. Most tumors, particularly human‐papillomavirus‐associated ones, are located in the palatine/lingual tonsils.

Acoustic Features of Airway Protective Maneuvers as Biomarkers of Radiation‐Associated Dysphagia and Penetration/Aspiration in Head and Neck Cancer Patients

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background This study aimed at identifying acoustic features of airway protective maneuvers as biomarkers of radiation‐associated dysphagia, involving penetration/aspiration and pharyngeal residue. Methods Temporal and spectral acoustical analyses were carried out on voluntary coughs, voluntary throat clearings, and reflexive coughs.

Collaborative Robot Arm Inserting Nasopharyngeal Swabs with Admittance Control [PDF]

arXiv
The nasopharyngeal (NP) swab sample test, commonly used to detect COVID-19 and other respiratory illnesses, involves moving a swab through the nasal cavity to collect samples from the nasopharynx. While typically this is done by human healthcare workers, there is a significant societal interest to enable robots to do this test to reduce exposure to ...

Patterns of Initial Lymph Node Involvement and Recurrence in Patients With Maxillary Sinus Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Determining whether to treat the elective cervical lymph node (LN) area remains a dilemma in maxillary sinus squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). This study analyzed the patterns of initial LN involvement and recurrence to guide treatment strategies. Methods We retrospectively reviewed 119 patients with maxillary sinus SCC treated between
