Background
In early oral cavity cancer, elective neck dissection (END) for the clinically node‐negative (cN0) neck improves survival compared with observation. This paradigm has been challenged recently by the use of positron emission tomography–computed tomography (PET‐CT) imaging in the cN0 neck. To inform this debate, we performed an economic evaluation comparing PET‐CT–guided therapy with routine...
Objective
For the first time in 30 years, the eighth edition of the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) Staging Manual offers major changes in the staging of oral cavity cancer. We evaluated the predictive ability of the new staging system for oral cavity cancer to validate these changes and hypothesized that the new system would improve prognostic accuracy.
Methods
We conducted a retrospective...
BACKGROUND
The National Quality Forum has endorsed quality‐improvement measures for multiple cancer types that are being developed into actionable tools to improve cancer care. No nationally endorsed quality metrics currently exist for head and neck cancer.
METHODS
The authors identified patients with surgically treated, invasive, head and neck squamous cell carcinoma in the National Cancer Data...
Radiotherapy is one of the main treatment modalities for early-stage glottic carcinoma. Unfortunately, local failure may occur in a group of cases with T1-T2 glottic carcinoma. This meta-analysis sought to determine risk factors for radiation failure in patients with early-stage glottic carcinoma.A systematic and comprehensive search was performed for related studies published between 1995 and 2014...
