Data‐Independent Acquisition Mass Spectrometry in Tumor Classification and Cancer Biomarker Research

Mass Spectrometry Reviews, EarlyView.
Abstract Cancer treatment is far from optimal also because current classification systems do not reflect the complex molecular status of the tumor and its phenotype in sufficient detail. To construct molecular tumor classifiers, omics tools provide complex molecular data reflecting many aspects from genotype to phenotype.

Nurse Navigation on Time to Postoperative Radiation Therapy after Transoral Robotic Surgery for Oropharyngeal Carcinoma

Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Postoperative radiation therapy (PORT) initiation within 6 weeks of surgery is associated with improved oncologic outcomes in head and neck cancer, but delays remain common. Oncology nurse navigators (ONN) may improve care coordination.

Awake Blue Laser Excision and Balloon Dilation of Oropharyngeal Stenosis in High‐Risk Patients

Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
Abstract Oropharyngeal stenosis is a rare condition that can develop following head and neck cancer treatment, leading to progressive dyspnea, dysphagia, and dysphonia. Patients with symptomatic dyspnea may benefit from endoscopic surgery. However, head and neck cancer survivors can have severe trismus, limited neck extension, and altered laryngeal ...

Hospitalization Utilization Metric After Major Oncologic Head and Neck Surgery With Microvascular Free Flap

Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective The primary length of stay (PLOS) metric fails to capture added time, costs, and reduced patient quality of life (QOL) associated with readmissions. To address these limitations, we propose a novel metric, the hospitalization utilization metric (HUM), which integrates PLOS and readmission LOS (RLOS). Study Design Retrospective review
