Homeobox B2 promotes malignant behavior and contributes to the radioresistance of nasopharyngeal carcinoma by regulating forkhead box protein O1
Conclusion: Our findings showed that HOXB2 acts as a tumor promoter in NPC, activating malignant behaviors and radioresistance of tumors via FOXO1 regulation. Moreover, the inactivation of HOXB2 or activation of FOXO1 are potential strategies to inhibit tumor progression and overcome radioresistance in NPC.PMID:38617001 | PMC:PMC11008478 | DOI:10.7150/ijms.93128 (Source: International Journal of Medical Sciences)

Impact of outside referral and dental extractions on package time with post ‐operative radiation therapy for head and neck cancer
ConclusionsWe identified that outside referrals, but not dental extractions, prolong treatment package times. We also saw no effect of package time on RFS or OS. These results suggest that patients requesting outside facility referrals for RT may benefit from a streamlined program that expedites the referral process.

Estimating the Prognostic Value of the NTRK Fusion Biomarker for Comparative Effectiveness Research in The Netherlands
ConclusionsNTRK+ patients may have an increased risk of death compared withNTRK − patients. When using historic control data to assess the comparative effectiveness of TRK inhibitors, the prognostic value of theNTRK fusion biomarker should therefore be accounted for.

Association of Insomnia and Obstructive Sleep Apnea with Worse Oral Mucositis and Quality of Life in Head and Neck Cancer Patients Undergoing Radiation Therapy
CONCLUSION: Insomnia and OSA are highly prevalent in patients with HNC undergoing RT. These sleep disturbances are associated with worse QOL and OM during treatment.PMID:38611012 | DOI:10.3390/cancers16071335 (Source: Cancer Control)
