Development of evidence-based post-treatment surveillance guidelines in recurrent/metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (R/M HNSCC) is limited by comprehensive documentation patterns recurrence metastatic spread.A retrospective analysis patients diagnosed with R/M HNSCC at a National Cancer Institute-designated cancer center between 1998- 2019 was performed (n = 447). Univariate multivariate identified predictors survival.Median overall survival (mOS) improved over time (6.7...
BACKGROUND. Transrenal cell-free tumor DNA (TR-ctDNA), which transits from the bloodstream into urine, has potential to enable noninvasive cancer detection for a wide variety of nonurologic types.
Many options for free tissue transfer have been described head and neck reconstruction. Although functional outcomes remain paramount, aesthetic considerations such as color match can be equally consequential patient quality of life. It is important to understand differences in based on flap donor site
To determine if the assessment of CD8+ tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) adds prognostic information to PD-L1 combined positive score (CPS) in recurrent/metastatic (R/M) head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). A retrospective case series was performed 77 patients with R/M HNSCC between 2003 2019. From pre-treatment biopsies, TILs CPS were quantified on a tissue microarray. Associations biomarkers overall survival immune checkpoint inhibition (ICI) response assessed. Neither TIL...
Objectives/Hypothesis Determine demographics, clinical characteristics, and survival rates for children with primary salivary gland malignancies. Study Design Retrospective, population‐based cohort study. Methods All cases of malignancies diagnosed between the years 2002 2013 in patients ages 0 to 19 were extracted from National Cancer Institute's Surveillance, Epidemiology, End Results database. Additional variables collected included age, gender, ethnicity, tumor histological subtype,...
Abstract Objective To explore challenges and opportunities for supporting midcareer women otolaryngologists in the areas of negotiation sponsorship. Study Design Qualitative approach using semistructured interviews. Setting Online multi‐institutional Methods This study was performed from June to August 2021. Women representing diverse subspecialties, training, practice environments were recruited via a purposive criterion‐based sampling approach. Semistructured interviews transcribed, coded,...
Objective (1) Evaluate the consistency and manner in which otolaryngology residents log surgical cases. (2) Assess extent of instruction guidance provided by program directors on case-logging practices. Study Design Cross-sectional national survey. Setting Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education residency programs United States. Subjects Methods US residents, postgraduate year 2 through graduating chiefs as July 2016, were recruited to respond an anonymous questionnaire designed...
<h3>Importance</h3> Recent insights into the biologic characteristics and treatment of oropharyngeal cancer may help inform improvements in prognostic modeling. A bayesian multistate model incorporates sophisticated statistical techniques to provide individualized predictions survival recurrence outcomes for patients with newly diagnosed cancer. <h3>Objective</h3> To develop a survival, locoregional recurrence, distant metastasis prognostication cancer, incorporating clinical, oncologic,...
To determine if gender pay disparity exists amongst otolaryngologists employed by the Veterans Health Administration (VHA).cross-sectional analysis.Board-certified at all complex Affairs Medical Centers (VAMCs) in 2016 were identified. Salaries collated using Enterprise Human Resources Integration-Statistical Data Mart dataset. Additional variables, including gender, years since medical school graduation, professorship status, h-index, and geographic location collected. A multivariate linear...
Objectives To develop a novel multispecialty simulation‐based course that teaches both technical and nontechnical skills in the management of adult pediatric critical airways to graduating medical students 2) encourage collaborative, approach difficult airway amongst fourth‐year who have enrolled otolaryngology, anesthesia, emergency medicine residency programs. Methods Fourth‐year student had matched into participated an intensive half‐day consisting series hands‐on stations with increasing...
The COVID-19 pandemic has fundamentally changed healthcare access, delivery, and treatment paradigms throughout oncology. Patients with head neck cancer comprise an especially vulnerable population due to the nature of their disease transmission mechanism SARS-CoV-2 virus. consequences triage decisions delays in care have serious psychosocial implications for patients. development structured support programs, coupled clear consistent communication from treating physicians, can help mitigate...
6102 Background: Adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) is a rare salivary gland malignancy with paucity of clinical outcome data. As such, evidence supporting and informing current guidelines remains limited. Methods: Inclusion criteria stipulated adults adenoid treated at the University Michigan between 1988 2019 complete records (n=102). Clinical variables including demographics, disease stage, treatment modality were abstracted. Pathologic analyzed included tumor grade, perineural invasion,...
The role of surgery for conventionally "unresectable" (cT4b) oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma is unclear. We analyzed factors associated with overall survival in cT4b relative to cT4a carcinoma.We identified 6830 and 522 chemoradiation or + adjuvant therapy patients the National Cancer Data Base from 2004 2016. main outcome was survival. Statistical analysis performed using chi-squared tests, univariable multivariable regression analysis.The group had a higher rate positive margins (30.4%...
