Treatment With the Shaker Head‐Lift Exercise in Head and Neck Cancer Patients With Radiation‐Induced Dysphagia: 12‐Month Results on Swallowing Function From a Randomized, Controlled Trial

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Dysphagia is a common side‐effect after radiotherapy in head and neck cancer patients. This randomized study aimed to evaluate the effect of the shaker head‐lift exercise (HLE) after 12 months with flexible endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES). Methods Patients were randomly assigned to the intervention (n = 30) or the control

Early Feasibility of Registration of Micro‐PET/CT Scans to Annotated 3D Specimen Models

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Intraoperative 18F‐fluorodeoxyglucose (18F‐FDG) micro‐positron emission tomography/computed tomography (micro‐PET/CT) is an emerging modality for margin assessment. Prior to clinical use, micro‐PET/CT margin distances must be correlated with gold‐standard histopathology.

Transoral Robotic Surgery for Oropharyngeal Squamous Cell Carcinoma: Glossotonsillar Sulcus Involvement Conveys an Unfavorable Oncological Outcome

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Transoral robotic surgery (TORS) is widely used in management of early‐stage primary oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC). Tumors involving the glossotonsillar sulcus (GTS) are hypothesized to confer worse oncological outcomes compared to those situated in the rest of the oropharynx, with a paucity of evidence to support ...

Complete Pathologic Response to Neoadjuvant Pembrolizumab Captured on Intraoperative PET/CT: A Case Report and Exploratory Analysis

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Neoadjuvant immunotherapy is an emerging treatment for patients with head and neck cancer. Given the heterogeneity of response, novel methods of intraoperative tumor and margin assessment warrant investigation. Methods A 55‐year‐old male presented with a cT3N2c supraglottic squamous cell carcinoma with a combined positive score of 5.

Predictors of Delayed and Omitted Postoperative Radiotherapy After Laryngectomy for pT4 Laryngeal Cancer

Head &Neck, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Postoperative radiotherapy (PORT) improves locoregional control and survival in high‐risk head and neck cancer, and guidelines recommend initiation within 42 days of surgery. Timeliness after laryngectomy for pathologic T4 (pT4) laryngeal cancer is poorly characterized.
