Background
The purpose of this cadaveric study was to determine the efficacy of a flexible, next‐generation robotic surgical system for transoral robotic hypopharyngectomy.
Methods
A comparative evaluation study of the flexible versus rigid robotic surgical systems for the hypopharynx was conducted using 3 cadavers. Endpoints for assessment were visualization of the hypopharynx, access to the hypopharynx,...
Background
Preclinical and early‐phase clinical studies have suggested an oncoprotective role of statins in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). The purpose of this study was to determine whether incidental statin use in patients with human papillomavirus (HPV)‐negative HNSCC is predictive of improved oncologic outcomes.
Methods
A retrospective cohort study of 1194 patients from the Ontario...
Background
The impact of radiotherapy (RT) modality and dose on survival in hypopharyngeal cancer managed with definitive RT is unclear.
Methods
The National Cancer Database was queried for patients with hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (HPSCC) treated with definitive RT. Intensity‐modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) was compared with other RT techniques. Clinicopathologic variables, RT modality,...
