Abstract Head and neck cancer (HNC) patients suffer from a range of health‐related quality life (HRQoL) issues, but little is known about their long‐term HRQoL. This study explored associations between treatment group HRQoL at least 5 years' post‐diagnosis in HNC survivors. In an international cross‐sectional study, survivors completed the European Organization for Research Treatment Cancer (EORTC) core questionnaire (EORTC‐QLQ‐C30) its module (EORTC‐QLQ‐H&N35). Meaningful differences...
ABSTRACT Background Body mass index (BMI) has been associated variably with head and neck cancer outcomes. We evaluated the association between BMI at either diagnosis or early adulthood Methods Patients invasive squamous cell Princess Margaret Cancer Centre in Toronto, Canada, were surveyed on tobacco alcohol exposure, performance status, comorbidities, diagnosis. A subset also had data collected for adulthood. Results With a median follow‐up of 2.5 years, 1279 analyzed patients, being...
The long-term problems of head and neck cancer survivors (HNCS) are not well known. In a cross-sectional international study aimed at exploring the quality life in this population, 1114 HNCS were asked to state their two most serious effects. A clinician recorded responses during face-to-face appointments. list 15 example was provided, but free text field also available. total 1033 responded question. frequent 'dry mouth' (DM) (n = 476; 46%), 'difficulty swallowing/eating' (DSE) 408; 40%),...
Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is an extremely aggressive disease associated with a poor prognosis. Previous studies have established that cancer stem cells (CSCs) actively participate in OSCC development, progression and resistance to conventional treatments. Furthermore, CSCs frequently exhibit deregulated expression of normal signalling pathways, thereby acquiring their distinctive abilities, which self-renewal example. In this study, we examined the effects GLI3 knockdown OSCC, as...
Background: Thyroid nodules can be identified in up to 68% of the population. Fine-needle aspiration (FNA) cytopathology classifies 20%-30% as indeterminate, and these are often referred for surgery due risk malignancy. However, histological postsurgical reports indicate that 84% cases benign, highlighting a high rate unnecessary surgeries. We sought develop validate microRNA (miRNA)-based thyroid molecular classifier precision endocrinology (mir-THYpe) with both sensitivity specificity,...
The evolution of radiotherapy over recent decades has reintroduced the hypofractionation for many tumor sites with similar outcomes to those conventional fractionated radiotherapy. use in locally advanced head and neck cancer (LAHNC) been already used, however, its restricted only a few countries. aim this trial was evaluate safety feasibility moderate hypofractionated (HYP-RT) concomitant cisplatin (CDDP). This single-arm designed HYP-RT CDDP LAHNC. Stage III IV patients withnonmetastatic...
Purpose: The aim of this study was to validate the new European Organisation for Research and Treatment Cancer Quality Life Thyroid Module (EORTC QLQ-THY34). Methods: We enrolled 437 thyroid cancer patients from 17 countries. One group (n = 303), undergoing treatment or best supportive care, completed questionnaires at three time points (before therapy [t1], 6 weeks later [t2], months after t2 [t3]). A second (survivors ≥2 years diagnosis, n 134) it a random baseline point 1 week later....
Background Oropharyngeal cancer is an important public health problem. The aim of our study was to correlatep16 immunohistochemistry in oropharynx squamous cell carcinomas(OPSCC) with clinical and epidemiological features. Material methods We conducted across-sectional on patients OPSCC treated at a single institution from 2014 2019. Epidemiological clinical-pathological data were collected medical records questionnaire applied determine alcohol consumption, smoking, sexual behavior. HPV...
Background: HPV infection represents an important etiologic factor for Oropharyngeal Squamous Cell Carcinoma (OPSCC). The different ethnic backgrounds could be related to susceptibility Human Papillomavirus (HPV). aim of our study was assess the whole genetic ancestry in status OPSCC patients. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional on patients with admitted Barretos Cancer Hospital, Brazil from 2014 2019. Of these, DNA extraction performed 40 and assessed using specific panel 46 informative...
Health economic appraisals often rely on the assessment of health utilities using preference-based measures (PBM). The cancer-specific PBM, European Organisation for Research and Treatment Cancer Quality Life Utility - Core 10 Dimensions (EORTC QLU-C10D), was developed recently, now needs to be validated in various clinical populations.
In this multi-ancestry genome-wide association study (GWAS) and fine mapping of head neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) subsites, we analysed 19,073 cases 38,857 controls identified 29 independent novel loci. We provide robust evidence that a 3' UTR variant in
