Abstract Background Radiomics represents an emerging field of precision‐medicine. Its application in head and neck is still at the beginning. Methods Retrospective study about magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) based radiomics oral tongue squamous cell carcinoma (OTSCC) surgically treated (2010–2019; 79 patients). All preoperative MRIs include different sequences (T1, T2, DWI, ADC). Tumor volume was manually segmented exported to radiomic‐software, perform feature extraction. Statistically...
Oral HPV DNA and circulating tumor (ct) in plasma were evaluated as potential biomarkers for HPV-associated head neck cancer (HNC). Samples from HNC patients (n = 132), including 23 oropharyngeal cancers (OPC), non-HNC controls 10) analyzed. status was determined using a multiplex bead-based test (E7-MPG) applied to formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissues 90), 141), gargle samples oral swabs 142). detected 25.8% of tissues, 12% samples, 20.6% gargles 7% with HPV16 the most prevalent...
Introduction: Surgery is still the main line of treatment for papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) with a current trend de-intensified based on an excellent prognosis. The role routine prophylactic central neck dissection (PCND) debated as its impact oncologic outcomes has never been cleared by randomized clinical trial. In this study, we aimed to report our long-standing experience in PCND and potential contemporary PTC. Methods: A retrospective institutional review was performed all patients who...
A 46-year-old man was referred to our ear, nose and throat department after the accidental discovery of a large retrotracheal mass. In order obtain diagnosis plan treatment he underwent full battery tests (CT, MRI, blood tests, hormonal assays, ultrasounds, thyroid scintigraphy, urine fine-needle aspiration mass), but none these able define true nature such cervical Only surgical excision histological evaluation, it diagnosed as an exceptional case giant non-functional parathyroid adenoma.
Radiomics is an emerging field that utilizes quantitative features extracted from medical images to predict clinically meaningful outcomes. Validating findings crucial assess radiomics applicability. We aimed validate previously published magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) models oncological outcomes in oral tongue squamous cell carcinoma (OTSCC).
Abstract The use of sternocleidomastoid muscle flap has firstly been described in 1909. In spine surgery, it is usually reserved the cases revision after anterior cervical procedures. aim this article to introduce its usage as prophylactic measure at high risk iatrogenic fistula formation. procedure consists three main steps: isolation, design and harvesting, fixation. a surgical anchor allows better adherence plate preventing hematoma SCM smart primary surgery method could be considered...
In cervical spine surgery there are known risk of complications such as esophageal fistula and dural tear. Usually the gold standard in treatment is represented by surgery. The sternocleidomastoid flap most common used revision procedure. this paper we propose a modified surgical technique harvesting SCM suggest its use prevention selected cases.
Laryngeal carcinoma represents one-third of all head and neck cancers is burdened by significant morbidity mortality for advanced-stage disease. Surgical treatments, including Open Partial Horizontal Laryngectomy (OPHL), are often followed long-lasting swallowing rehabilitation more rarely, persistent dysphagia. Some authors reported single cases, successfully treated with fat injection the base tongue, but nowadays, a standardized technique has never been described so far. We provide...
