Intraoperative Indocyanine Green Fluorescence Enables Primary Tumor Localization and Treatment De‐Escalation in SCCUP: A Case Report

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Unknown primary cancer in the head and neck presents a difficult surgical treatment dilemma. Patients with squamous cell carcinoma of unknown primary (SCCUP) typically present with an enlarging neck mass found on biopsy but with no indication of primary site on diagnostic exams such as flexible laryngoscopy, CT, MRI, and/or PET/CT ...

Measuring the response of human head and neck squamous cell carcinoma to irradiation in a microfluidic model allowing customized therapy [PDF]

, 2017
Radiotherapy is the standard treatment for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), however, radioresistance remains a major clinical problem despite significant improvements in treatment protocols. Therapeutic outcome could potentially be improved

CCL26‐Mediated Modulation of Endothelial Secretome by Hypoxia‐Induced Tumor‐Derived Exosomes Enhances Metastatic Progression in Head and Neck Cancer

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Tumor cells adapt to hypoxia by releasing hiTDExs enriched with bioactive molecules that modulate endothelial behavior and promote tumor progression. This study aimed to characterize how hypoxia‐induced HNSCC exosomes reshape the endothelial secretome and contribute to metastatic potential.

“Why am I still suffering?”: Experience of long-term fatigue and neurocognitive changes in oropharyngeal cancer survivors following (chemo)radiotherapy

Technical Innovations & Patient Support in Radiation Oncology
Background: Late effects of cancer treatment, such as neurocognitive deficits and fatigue, can be debilitating. Other than head and neck–specific functional deficits such as impairments in swallowing and speech, little is known about survivorship after ...

SUPREME-HN: a retrospective biomarker study assessing the prognostic value of PD-L1 expression in patients with recurrent and/or metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck. [PDF]

, 2019
BACKGROUND:Programmed cell death ligand-1 (PD-L1) expression on tumor cells (TCs) is associated with improved survival in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) treated with immunotherapy, although its role as a prognostic factor is ...

Effects of Laryngeal Restriction on Pharyngeal Peristalsis and Biomechanics: Clinical Implications [PDF]

, 2016
To date, rehabilitative exercises aimed at strengthening the pharyngeal muscles have not been developed due to the inability to successfully overload and fatigue these muscles during their contraction, a necessary requirement for strength training.

Intensive Swallowing Rehabilitation for Head and Neck Cancer Survivors With Chronic Dysphagia: Outcomes From a Prospective Multicentre Cohort Study With 6‐Month Follow‐Up

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Chronic dysphagia persists in some head and neck cancer (HNC) survivors despite preventive exercises, negatively impacting quality of life. Evidence for effective rehabilitation strategies remains limited. Methods This prospective cohort study included 34 HNC survivors (≥ 1 year post‐treatment) who completed a 3‐week intensive ...
