Background
In the era of deintensification, little data are available regarding patients’ treatment preferences. The current study evaluated treatment‐related priorities, concerns, and regret among patients with head and neck squamous cell cancer (HNSCC).
Methods
A total of 150 patients with HNSCC ranked the importance of 10 nononcologic treatment goals relative to the oncologic goals of cure and...
BACKGROUND
Patients with human papillomavirus (HPV)‐related oropharyngeal cancer (OPC) have improved survival when compared with those with HPV‐negative OPC. Unfortunately, the American Joint Committee on Cancer seventh edition (AJCC‐7ed) staging system does not account for the prognostic advantage observed with HPV‐positive OPC. The purpose of the current study was to validate and compare 2 recently...
BACKGROUNDUnderstanding health‐related quality of life (HRQOL) is crucial to providing high‐quality survivorship care for patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Trends in and prognostic significance of HRQOL before and after HNSCC have not been well described.
METHODSHRQOL for older individuals with HNSCC was examined using the linked Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results–Medicare...
BACKGROUNDSecuring negative surgical margins is a critical goal for head and neck surgery. Local recurrence develops even in some patients who have histologically negative surgical margins. Minimal residual tumor cells may lead to locoregional recurrence despite clear histologic margins reported at the time of resection of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). To identify subclinical residual...
