The indirect costs of human papillomavirus-related cancer in Central and Eastern Europe: years of life lost and productivity costs
CONCLUSIONS: There is a high disease burden of HPV-related cancer-related deaths in the CEE region, with a large economic impact to society due to substantial productivity losses. It is critical to implement and reinforce public health measures with the aim to reduce the incidence of HPV-related diseases, and the subsequent premature cancer deaths. Improving HPV screening and increasing vaccination programs, in both male and female populations, could help reduce this burden.PMID:38638098 | DOI:10.1080/13696998.2024.2341572 (Source: Journal of Medical Economics)

Investigating Disparities in Hypopharyngeal/Laryngeal Cancer Survival in Florida With Geospatial Mapping Analysis
CONCLUSION: Our findings suggest that sociodemographic and clinical factors impact OS from hypopharyngeal/laryngeal cancer in Florida and vary geographically within the state. These results will help guide future public health interventions.PMID:38623948 | DOI:10.1177/10732748241246958 (Source: Cancer Control)

Accelerated hypofractionated chemoradiation for locally advanced head and neck cancer during COVID 19 pandemic: A tertiary care experience
CONCLUSION: During a pandemic crisis with limited manpower & technical resources accelerated hypofractionated radiotherapy with concurrent chemotherapy can be considered a feasible therapeutic option for HNSCC which can significantly reduce the overall Treatment Time (OTT) with comparable local control and manageable toxicities.PMID:38554353 | DOI:10.4103/jcrt.jcrt_1747_22 (Source: Cell Research)

Unlocking the Therapeutic Potential of LncRNA < em > BLACAT1 < /em > in Hypopharynx Squamous Cell Carcinoma
CONCLUSIONS: lncRNA BLACAT1 is highly expressed in HSCC tumor tissues and plays a crucial role in the development of HSCC in vitro and in vivo. This increased expression may be caused by STAT3/AKT pathway activation, consequently inhibiting P21 expression through PHB2.PMID:38531795 | DOI:10.24976/Discov.Med.202436182.51 (Source: Discovery Medicine)
