BACKGROUND Head and neck cancer (HNC) encompasses a diverse group of tumors, thus providing appropriate tailored information to patients before, during, after treatment is challenge. The objective the current study was characterize experience unmet needs with HNC regard support provision. METHODS A 28‐question, cross‐sectional survey completed by treated for at 1 4 institutions in New South Wales, Australia (Chris O'Brien Lifehouse Liverpool, Westmead, Wollongong hospitals). It consisted...
Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) has become an alternative option to elective neck dissection (END) for early oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma (OCSCC) outside of Australia. We sought assess the technical feasibility SLNB and validate its accuracy against that END in Australian setting.We performed a prospective cohort study consisting 30 consecutive patients with cT1-2 N0 OCSCC referred Head Neck Cancer Service, Westmead Hospital, Sydney, between 2011 2014. All underwent followed by...
Abstract Background Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) has been pivotal for pathological assessment of nodal status in cutaneous melanoma (CM) and oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma (OCSCC) thus crucial staging. An ideal agent lymphatic mapping should have a standardized preparation, appropriate accumulation first‐echelon nodes no side effects. Tilmanocept, CD206‐receptor targeted novel radiotracer fulfils these properties. This study investigated Tilmanocept lymphoscintigraphy...
Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) is being increasingly used worldwide as a minimally invasive option to stage the clinically node-negative neck (N0) in patients with early oral cavity squamous cell carcinomas (OCSCC). We performed this trial assess reliability and validity of technique.We did prospective interventional nonrandomized study (cT1-T2 OCSCC) negative neck. All underwent preoperative lymphoscintigraphy; SLNB was followed immediately by completion dissection (CND), thus each...
Head and neck angiosarcoma (HN-AS) is a rare aggressive, representing <1% of all head malignancies. It characterized by high rate local recurrence poor 5-year survival (10-54%). Australian data in this disease lacking. We aim review the clinical outcomes HN-AS from two volume cancer units Australia.Retrospective chart review.A total 26 patients were identified, consist predominantly male (81%) with mean age 77 year old. Most arises scalp (62%). The overall (OS) free (DFS) 41% 15%,...
Background/Objectives: An involved or close resection margin in the setting of cutaneous SCC (cSCC) is associated with risk developing recurrence. The scalp poses unique anatomical challenges when obtaining adequate margins and further treatment may be required. We aimed to investigate recurrence patients cSCCs role adjuvant radiotherapy.
 Methods: Eligible cSCC treated curative intent at Westmead hospital, Sydney, were identified patient, tumor factors analyzed. Patients categorized...
