The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic required the rapid transition to telehealth with aim of providing patients medical access and supporting clinicians while abiding by stay-at-home orders.To assess demographic socioeconomic factors associated patient participation in during COVID-19 pandemic.This cohort study included all pediatric adult encounters at Department Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery a tertiary care, academic, multisubspecialty, multisite practice located an early...
Multimodal therapy is a well-established approach for the treatment of sinonasal undifferentiated carcinoma (SNUC); however, optimal sequence various treatments modalities yet to be determined. This study aimed assess role induction chemotherapy (IC) in guiding definitive patients with SNUC.Ninety-five previously untreated diagnosed SNUC and treated between 2001 2018 at The University Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center were included analysis. Patients curative intent received IC before...
The American Joint Committee on Cancer Staging System for differentiated thyroid cancer has been recently revised. purpose of this study was to compare survival prognostication between the seventh and eighth editions.We retrospectively reviewed 2579 patients who underwent surgery at MD Anderson Center 2000 2015. Disease-specific (DSS) overall were estimated using Kaplan-Meier method compared log rank test. effect potential predictor Cox proportional hazards model. Power prediction Harrell's...
Abstract Background Depth of invasion (DOI) in oral cavity cancer is important determining prognosis. This study aims to determine optimal cut‐points DOI for detection occult disease and survival. Methods A retrospective cohort was completed previously untreated early stage lateral tongue cancer. were computed. Multiple logistic regression multivariate Cox proportional hazards models used assess predictors nodal overall survival (OS) disease‐specific (DSS). Results Occult found 55 (26%) the...
Postoperative hyposmia and anosmia is an often overlooked complication of endoscopic pituitary surgery. Septal flaps have been utilized as a strategy for repairing preventing postoperative cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks. The olfactory impact raising this flap sellar reconstruction CSF repair needs qualitative assessment. This study aims to ascertain the effect Hadad-Bassagasteguy (HB) on olfaction in surgery.In randomized controlled trial, patients undergoing surgery underwent computerized...
Introduction: Risk-stratified treatment strategies have become a focus in the of differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC). In 2015 American Thyroid Association guidelines, adjuvant with radioactive iodine (RAI) is considered presence minimal extrathyroidal extension (mETE). This study aimed to investigate prognostic significance mETE and tumor size patients DTC. Methods: A retrospective review was undertaken 2323 consecutive treated surgically for T1–T3 (defined per seventh edition Joint...
<h3>Importance</h3> Lymph node metastases are common in papillary thyroid cancer (PTC), yet the impact of nodal on survival remains unclear. density (LND) is ratio between number positive lymph nodes excised and total nodes. has been suggested as a prognostic factor many types cancer. <h3>Objective</h3> To evaluate role LND PTC. <h3>Design, Setting, Participants</h3> This cohort study reviewed medical records patients with PTC who were treated at University Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center...
<h3>Importance</h3> Patients with immunosuppression have a higher incidence of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) and often present more aggressive, multifocal disease. <h3>Objectives</h3> To determine the risks for mortality in patients cSCC compared nonimmunosuppression to compare difference risk based on cause immunocompromise. <h3>Design, Setting, Participants</h3> This retrospective cohort study head neck recruited participants from tertiary cancer care center. who underwent no...
The COVID-19 pandemic has significant impact on long-term care (LTC) residents' health and well-being.This study investigated resident experiences of loneliness during the in Canadian LTC homes to offer lessons learned implications.15 residents 16 staff members were recruited from two large urban with outbreaks fatalities. We used a telepresence robot conduct one-on-one semi-structured interviews participants remotely. applied Collaborative Action Research (CAR) methodology report early...
Importance For patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), initiation of postoperative radiation therapy (PORT) within 6 weeks surgery is recommended by the National Comprehensive Cancer Network Guidelines Commission on Cancer. Although individual-level measures socioeconomic status are associated receipt timely, guideline-adherent PORT, role neighborhood-level disadvantage has not been examined. Objective To characterize association delays in receiving PORT. Design,...
<h3>Importance</h3> Locoregional recurrence of oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma (OCSCC) continues to be a life-threatening and difficult clinical situation. Salvage surgery can result in significant morbidities, survival following is poor. <h3>Objective</h3> To outline prognostic factors influencing overall (OS) salvage for OCSCC guide management treatment patients with locoregionally recurrent disease. <h3>Design, Setting, Participants</h3> The medical records 293 presenting the London...
<h3>Importance</h3> As incidence of differentiated thyroid cancer rises, treatment paradigms have become increasingly defined. Despite this, locally advanced disease continues to be challenging manage. Postoperative therapy in the form radioactive iodine (RAI) is generally recommended, but role external beam radiation (EBRT) less well <h3>Objective</h3> To investigate EBRT cancer. <h3>Design, Setting, and Participants</h3> For this retrospective cohort study, patients treated surgically for...
During the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, outpatient clinics were shut down to stem virus spread.Before COVID-19, Henry Ford Health System (Detroit, Michigan) used telemedic ine within limited subsets of patients.After closed on March 17, 2020, need continue care necessitated a rapid adaptation telemedicine.This presented an opportunity for widespread telemedicine use multidisciplinary head and neck oncology team.The purpose this article is describe associations between...
While patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) have benefit in cancer clinical trials, real-world applications are lacking. This study describes the method of implementation a enterprise-wide PROMs platform.After establishing multispecialty stakeholder group within large integrated health system, domain-specific instruments were selected from National Institutes Health's Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) (pain interference, fatigue, physical function, and...
PURPOSE To establish thresholds in the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) pain interference, physical function, fatigue, and depression scores on basis of their association with subsequent use emergency department (ED) or urgent care by people diagnosed cancer. METHODS Retrospective data from 952 seen at Henry Ford Cancer insured through Health Alliance Plan were analyzed using generalized linear mixed-effects models. The log odds ED during 14 30 days after...
Sinonasal mucosal melanoma (SNMM) comprises <1% of all melanomas and lacks well-characterised molecular markers. Our aim was to determine the frequencies common mutations examine their utility as markers in a large series primary SNMMs.SNMM patients seen at our institution from August 1991 through July 2016 were identified. Genomic DNA extracted 66 formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tumours screened for by direct sequencing. We investigated association with clinicopathological features...
Purpose Sinonasal mucosal melanoma (SNMM) is a locally aggressive tumor. This study aimed to define the role of adjuvant treatment and its association with survival outcomes SNMM. Methods retrospective investigated 152 patients SNMM treated between 1991 2016 in MD Anderson Cancer Center. Patients were divided into following groups: surgery alone, postoperative radiotherapy (PORT), chemoradiation (POCRT), induction chemotherapy followed by PORT. Overall (OS), disease-specific survival,...
