<h3>Objective</h3> To examine epigenetic events of aberrant promoter methylation as diagnostic markers in primary head and neck squamous cell carcinoma using a novel multigene approach. Promoter methylation-mediated silencing is hallmark several established tumor suppressor genes. Changes DNA have been reported to occur early carcinogenesis therefore are potentially important indicators existing disease. <h3>Design</h3> A multicandidate gene probe panel interrogated for status 22 cancer...
Thyroid cancer is the most common endocrine with 1,690 deaths each year. There are four main types of which papillary and follicular together account for >90% followed by medullary cancers 3% to 5% anaplastic carcinomas making up <3%. Epigenetic events DNA hypermethylation emerging as promising molecular targets detection. Our immediate long term goal identify methylation markers early detection thyroid cancer. This pilot study comprised 21 patients include 11 (PTC), 2 (FTC), 5 normal cases,...
The goal of the study was to determine role routine total thyroidectomy and hemithyroidectomy in patients undergoing laryngectomy for laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma.The group consisted 343 who underwent (98 treated with surgery alone, 136 following radiation failure, 109 chemoradiation failure). Total performed all obstructing bilateral lesions or if there suspicion contralateral lobe involvement. Hemithyroidectomy lateralized lesions. Retrospective histopathologic analysis thyroid...
Abstract Objective To determine the rate and risk factors for osteoradionecrosis (ORN) in osseous free flaps after postoperative radiation therapy (PORT). describe treatment of flap ORN. Methods Seventy‐four patients undergoing reconstruction were analyzed. Thirty‐eight completed PORT. Patients followed ≥6 months. Results The ORN was 34% overall; 0% with 50 to 59.9 Gy; 8% 60 40% 66 56% 70 74.4 Gy. Mean time 13.1 0/28 without PORT developed osteonecrosis. Multivariate analysis found only...
To review our experience with late Marx stage III osteoradionecrosis (ORN) of the mandible in patients who present pathologic fracture.Case series chart review.Tertiary care center.Thirty-seven were identified from June 1998 to August 2010 underwent treatment grade fracture mandible. All reconstruction osteocutaneous free tissue transfer and when possible hyperbaric oxygen therapy protocol.The average time between completion radiation presentation ORN-induced was 3.2 years. Sixteen developed...
To review our experience with miniplate fixation of fractures the symphyseal and parasymphyseal regions mandible.A retrospective all mandible treated from July 1, 1999, through 31, 2011, by one us (Y.D.) was performed. Intraoral, open rigid noncomminuted performed using a combination 2 miniplates that were either 4-hole or 6-hole monocortical screws. The 1-mm thick 2-mm screw diameter.A total 218 patients included in this study. Eighteen (8.3%) concurrent panfacial other indications left...
Thirty-day hospital readmissions have become a measure of quality care. Many enter through the emergency department. The purposes this study were to determine rate, risk factors, and costs 30-day returns department (30dEDRs) after head neck surgery.All adult patients undergoing surgery at University Florida from 2012 2014 reviewed. Univariate multivariate logistic regression analyses performed identify factors for 30dEDRs.We found 1065 who underwent 1173 procedures. There 88 cases (7.5%)...
