Open or closed: Experience of head and neck radiotherapy masks – A mixed‐methods study

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, Volume 72, Issue 1, Page 74-84, March 2025.
Patients with head and neck cancer received radiotherapy alternately with an open and a closed mask. The closed mask was perceived as more confining and restrictive, but it was also considered to make it easier to quickly achieve the correct position, while the open mask was perceived as less stable, although it reduced the feeling of claustrophobia ...

Optimising hypoxia PET imaging and its applications in guiding targeted radiation therapy for non‐small cell lung cancer: a scoping review

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, Volume 72, Issue 1, Page 106-118, March 2025.
This review article reports that quantification of hypoxic volumes using PET in the pre‐radiation therapy setting is of prognostic value and indicative of treatment response in non‐small cell lung cancer. Abstract Introduction Non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the leading cause of cancer‐related death. Definitive treatment includes chemotherapy and

PARACOCCIDIOIDOMYCOSIS WITH OROPHARYNGEAL MANIFESTATION AND A NODULARIFORM PULMONARY PATTERN MIMICKING MALIGNANCY: A CASE REPORT

Brazilian Journal of Infectious Diseases
Paracoccidioidomycosis is an endemic systemic fungal infection in Latin America, caused by fungi of the genus Paracoccidioides. The disease can affect multiple organs, but the pulmonary form is the most common, while isolated oropharyngeal involvement is

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

Impact of Co‐Morbid Immunocompromise in HPV‐Associated Oropharyngeal Squamous Cell Carcinoma

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
Among patients with surgically resected Human Papillomavirus positive (HPV+) oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC), immunocompromised patients had significantly worse overall survival compared to the non‐compromised group; however, these exploratory findings should be interpreted cautiously.

Refining the Multivariable Predictive‐Prognostic PREDICTR‐OPC Model for Survival in Surgical Escalation for Oropharyngeal Squamous Cell Carcinoma

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
The PREDICTR‐OPC model is the only prognostic classifier for oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) that also predicts surgical outcomes. This study demonstrates that removing survivin from the model preserves its prognostic and predictive performance, with comparable discrimination, calibration, and clinical utility across training and ...

Effect of Notch1 on Vocal Fold Re‐Epithelization After Acute Injury

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
Conditional deletion of Notch1 in Lrig1‐expressing vocal fold epithelial cells impaired re‐epithelialization following naphthalene injury, resulting in sustained basal cell proliferation, abnormal epithelial differentiation, and prolonged inflammatory cell infiltration.

Identifying Velopharyngeal Dysfunction in Head and Neck Cancer Patients

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
We evaluated the clinical presentation and treatment patterns of velopharyngeal dysfunction (VPD) following head and neck cancer therapy across three academic institutions. VPD demonstrated a highly variable and delayed onset, with radiation‐associated cases developing after a mean of 8.5 years and many patients presenting more than 10 years after ...
