Abstract Purpose The patient concerns inventory (PCI) is a prompt list allowing head and neck cancer (HNC) patients to discuss issues that otherwise might be overlooked. This trial evaluated the effectiveness of using PCI at routine outpatient clinics for one year after treatment on health-related QOL (HRQOL). Methods A pragmatic cluster preference randomised control with 15 consultants, 8 ‘using’ 7 ‘not using’ intervention. Patients treated curative intent (all sites, disease stages,...
Background Proliferative verrucous leukoplakia (PVL) is a progressive, multifocal, exophytic form of with high rates malignant transformation. The purpose this study was to evaluate cohort patients PVL in single tertiary referral clinic. Method Cases meeting accepted diagnostic criteria were reviewed regard their pathology, demographic characteristics, management, and outcomes. Human papillomavirus (HPV) testing undertaken on subset. Results Almost half the 48 (48%; n = 23) underwent...

A total of 3,552 specimens for conventional cytomegalovirus (CMV) culture and shell vial assay CMV immediate-early antigen were obtained during a prospective randomized trial prophylaxis disease after liver transplantation. Prophylaxis with ganciclovir 2 weeks then high-dose acyclovir 2.5 months was compared alone 3 months. During the first 12 transplantation, when patients on prophylaxis, there significantly more clinical samples positive by negative standard in comparison number from 13 to...
Abstract Background Sodium valproate (VPA) has been associated with a reduced risk of head and neck cancer development. The potential protective mechanism action is believed to be via inhibition histone deacetylase subsequent epigenetic reprogramming. SAVER phase IIb open-label, randomised control trial VPA as chemopreventive agent in patients high-risk oral epithelial dysplasia (OED). aim the gather preliminary evidence clinical biological effects upon OED assess feasibility acceptability...
