Pedicled thoracoacromial artery compound flaps for circumferential hypopharyngeal reconstruction
ConclusionsThe pedicled thoracoacromial artery compound flaps have stable blood supply and provide adequate muscle coverage for greater protection during radiotherapy, and the microsurgical skills have no requirement. Therefore, the compound flaps provide a good choice for the reconstruction of circumferential hypopharyngeal defect, especially in the aged or patients with comorbidities who are not able to tolerate prolonged surgery.

Development of programs to predict the occurrence of mucositis from digital imaging and communications in medicine data by machine learning in head and neck volumetric modulated radiotherapy
This study aimed to develop a machine learning program that can predict the development of mucositis requiring ART. This study included 61 patients who received concurrent chemotherapy and radiotherapy (RT). For each patient, the equivalent square field size of each segmental irradiation field used for VMAT, dose per segment (Gy), clinical target volume high, and mean dose of the oral cavity (Gy) were calculated. Furthermore, 671 five-dimensional lists were generated from the acquired data. Support vector machine (SVM) and K-nearest neighbor (KNN) were used for machine learning. For the accuracy score, the test size was va...

Analysis of the anatomical distribution of HPV genotypes in head and neck squamous papillomas
by Huiying Hu, Huanyu Jiang, Zhenwen Zhu, Honglin Yin, Kai Liu, Lijuan Chen, Mengyuan Zhao, Zhenkun Yu
Squamous papillomas (SPs) of the head and neck are usually benign lesions associated with human papilloma virus (HPV) infection. However, the reported HPV detection rates vary widely, especially with respect to anatomical distribution. The etiology of SPs in the head and neck remains unclear; anal yzing HPV genotypes of SPs based on anatomical sites could assist in clarifying the pathogenesis of SPs in the head and neck. Therefore, the aim of this study was to review the prevalence, subtypes, and anatomical distribution ...

Disease burden, risk factors, and trends of lip, oral cavity, pharyngeal cancers: A global analysis
ConclusionsAlthough global incidence and mortality trends reported an overall decrease, significant increases were found for older age groups and female subjects. Incidence increase may be due to the growing prevalence of lifestyle, metabolic risk factors, and HPV infections, especially in developed countries. (Source: Cancer Medicine)

Cancers, Vol. 15, Pages 3894: Mapping the Potential of Microfluidics in Early Diagnosis and Personalized Treatment of Head and Neck Cancers
n D. Tran
Head and neck cancers (HNCs) account for ~4% of all cancers in North America and encompass cancers affecting the oral cavity, pharynx, larynx, sinuses, nasal cavity, and salivary glands. The anatomical complexity of the head and neck region, characterized by highly perfused and innervated structures, presents challenges in the early diagnosis and treatment of these cancers. The utilization of sub-microliter volumes and the unique phenomenon associated with microscale fluid dynamics have facilitated the development of microfluidic platforms for studying complex biological systems. The advent of on-chip microfl...
