BACKGROUND
The outcomes of patients with unresected anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC) from the National Cancer Data Base (NCDB) were assessed, and potential correlations were explored between radiation therapy (RT) dose and overall survival (OS).
METHODS
The study cohort was comprised of patients who underwent either no surgery or grossly incomplete resection. Correlates of OS were explored using...
BACKGROUND
Socioeconomic status affects survival in patients diagnosed with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), even in health systems with universal health care. Singapore has a tiered subsidized housing system, in which income determines eligibility for subsidies by size of apartment. The objective of this study was to assess whether a patient's residential type (small/heavily subsidized,...
BACKGROUND
Patients who are chronically immunosuppressed have higher rates of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (cSCC‐HN). This is the largest multi‐institutional study to date investigating the effect of immune status on disease outcomes in patients with cSCC‐HN who underwent surgery and received postoperative radiation therapy (RT).
METHODS
Patients from 3 institutions who...
BACKGROUND
The authors hypothesized that unilateral intensity‐modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) would decrease toxicity compared with bilateral IMRT for patients with lateralized palatine tonsillar cancer and a neck classification of N0 to N2b, with similar oncological outcomes.
METHODS
A total of 154 patients were treated with postoperative IMRT from 1997 through 2013. Data were collected prospectively...
