Beta Human Papillomaviruses Seropositivity and the Association With Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma—A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

JEADV Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) is one of the most common nonmelanoma skin cancers, with increasing incidence globally. Beta genus human papillomaviruses (β‐HPVs), particularly in immunocompromised individuals, have been implicated in the development of cSCC. However, the strength of association between β‐HPV seropositivity

Choice and Death: Analysis of Medical Assistance in Dying for Head and Neck Cancer in Ontario

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
The uptake of MAiD for head and neck cancer (HNC) has been steadily increasing since 2016, when MAiD first became available in Canada. Our study projects a substantial increase in the future use of MAiD for patients with HNC. As such, our health system needs to re‐evaluate and implement the necessary infrastructure to support the projected increase in ...
