Background Racial disparities in squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (HNSCC) negatively affect non‐Hispanic black (NHB) patients. This study was aimed at understanding how treatment is prescribed received across all HNSCC subsites. Methods With National Cancer Database, patients from 2004 to 2014 with surgically resectable HNSCCs, including tumors oral cavity (OC), oropharynx (OP), hypopharynx (HP), larynx (LX), were studied. The either upfront surgery or nonsurgical treatment....
<h3>Importance</h3> The achievement of complete tumor resection with tumor-free margins is one the main principles oncologic surgery for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). negative prognostic influence a positive margin (PM) across all subsites has been well established. National guidelines recommend use adjuvant chemoradiation therapy (CRT) in setting PM. <h3>Objective</h3> To determine incidence PM HNSCC multiple subsites, as factors associated its occurrence. <h3>Design,...
The National Comprehensive Cancer Network recommends imaging within 6 months after treatment for head and neck cancer (HNC). Further is recommended only if the patient has symptoms or abnormal findings on physical examination. However, in many instances, asymptomatic patients continue to have evaluations.To assess practice patterns surveillance with HNC evaluate costs associated these practices.This single-institution retrospective economic evaluation study screened 435 identify newly...
Abstract Background Definitive surgery is recommended for oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). The purpose of this study was to present our assessment the disparities in treatment selection SCC. Methods Non‐Hispanic white and non‐Hispanic black patients with SCC were identified National Cancer Database (NCDB). Regression models used estimate relative risk (RR) receiving absolute difference between patients. Results There 82.3% who received surgery, compared 64.2% ( P < .001). less...
<h3>Importance</h3> A proactive speech and language pathology (SLP) program is an important component of the multidisciplinary care patients with head neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Swallowing rehabilitation can reduce rate feeding tube placement, thereby significantly improving quality life. <h3>Objective</h3> To evaluate initiation a SLP at single institution its association rates placement dietary intake in HNSCC. <h3>Design, Setting, Participants</h3> Cohort study tertiary...
Resident training in emergency airway management is not well described. We quantified and exposure to emergencies among graduating Otolaryngology-Head Neck Surgery Anesthesiology residents.The methods used for this study were a national web-based survey of chief response rate was 52% (otolaryngology) 60% (anesthesiology). More otolaryngology residents rotated on anesthesiology than anesthesia (33% vs 8%). chiefs never performed an surgical (92% 18%). The most common self-rating competency...
2590 Background: Recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP) is caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) types 6 & 11. RRP proliferates in the squamous epithelium lining tract impacting breathing, swallowing, and voice carries a 3-5% risk of malignant transformation. Given multi-focality disease tolerized host immune response against HPV, part through upregulation PD1:PDL1 axis, safety efficacy systemic pembrolizumab (pembro) as novel treatment for this benign tumor patient (pt) population...
To compare the prevalence of food allergy for peanut, shrimp, and milk in adults with allergic rhinitis to determine predictive values these allergens total immunoglobulin E (IgE) detect allergies.Cross-sectional study.University Chicago Medical Center, Chicago, Illinois.We retrospectively analyzed vitro enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays rhinitis. Subjects were tested nine inhalants three foods (peanut, milk) IgE. history additional foods. The sensitivity (SE), specificity (SP), positive...
Abstract Background We compared prognostic values of lymph node ratio (LNR) and AJCC 8 N classification in surgically resected human papillomavirus (HPV)‐associated oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC). Methods Using the National Cancer Database, we identified patients with HPV‐associated OPSCC from 2010 to 2016 who underwent definitive surgical resection. Patients were analyzed by nodal grouping (LNR, stage) adjuvant radiation therapy(RT). Primary endpoint was overall survival....
Access to dental care may affect diagnosis of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). We tested whether the incidence rate OSCC is higher in regions with less access city Chicago and state Illinois.

6080 Background: Recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP) is caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) types 6 & 11. RRP proliferates in the tract impacting breathing, swallowing, and voice carries a 1-4% risk of malignant transformation.There no curative therapy for RRP. Given tolerized host immune response against HPV, safety efficacy pembrolizumab (pembro) as an alternative treatment this patient population was evaluated phase II clinical trial. Patient reported outcomes (PROs) were...
The population of Americans over 65 years age is growing at an unprecedented rate. Rhinitis a common and burdensome complaint in this group, physicians should be aware the diagnosis management disease. Geriatric rhinitis nasal disorder older persons that presents with constellation symptoms. etiologies condition include both inflammatory diseases effects aging on physiology upper airway. Possible causes allergic rhinitis, nonallergic (vasomotor gustatory rhinitis), adverse medications,...
Objectives: Surgery is the definitive treatment for oral tongue squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Studies have described correlates of delayed diagnosis. However, little known about delays after This study investigates time intervals from diagnosis to surgery OSCC using National Cancer Data Base (NCDB). Methods: The NCDB was queried patients initially treated with in 1998 through 2009. Patients were dichotomized based on relative median. Chi‐square and multivariable logistic regression models...
In 2003, the University of Chicago (U C) ANES residency program added an OHNS rotation for approximately half first year interns (Post-Graduate Year 1 [PGY-1]).We sought to determine impact such a on airway management experience, confidence and self-rated competence.We hypothesized that those residents who rotated service would have greater increased confidence, higher competence compared did not. Methods Survey methodologyA survey was distributed all at U C (n=50).This included PGY-2, PGY-3...
