Low Skeletal Muscle Mass: A Strong Predictive Factor for Surgical Complications After Free Forearm Flap Reconstruction in Oral Cancer Patients

Head &Neck, Volume 47, Issue 4, Page 1135-1141, April 2025.
ABSTRACT Background Low skeletal muscle mass (SMM) is a predictive factor for complications in patients undergoing major head and neck cancer surgery. This study aims to identify the predictive value of low SMM for postoperative complications in patients who underwent free forearm flap (FAFF) reconstructions after oral cancer resections.

Anxiety, Depression and Cancer‐Related Post‐Traumatic Stress in Patients Undergoing Total Laryngectomy

Laryngoscope Investigative Otolaryngology, Volume 10, Issue 2, April 2025.
This study represents the first attempt to evaluate anxiety and depression in patients undergoing total laryngectomy with and without cancer‐related post‐traumatic stress (PTS), shedding light on the risk of persistent psychological distress even one year after surgery. Preoperative assessment of cancer‐related PTS may present an opportunity to provide

Pre‐Treatment Serum Prognostic Scores and Survival in Curatively Treated Laryngeal Cancer

Laryngoscope Investigative Otolaryngology, Volume 10, Issue 2, April 2025.
This study evaluates the prognostic significance of systemic immune‐inflammatory markers in predicting survival outcomes for 473 patients with laryngeal squamous cell cancer (LSCC) treated curatively. Markers such as lymphocyte‐to‐monocyte ratio (LMR), neutrophil‐to‐lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and platelet‐to‐lymphocyte ratio (PLR) were significant ...
