ACS Releases Long-term Care Guideline for Survivors of Head and Neck Cancer
By Stacy Simon The American Cancer Society has released a new Head and Neck Survivorship Care Guideline to help survivors of head and neck cancer and their primary care providers better manage their long-term care. The guideline addresses cancers of the oral cavity, tongue, lip, pharynx (throat), and larynx (voice box). Recommendations in the guideline may also apply to cancers of the salivary glands, nasal and paranasal sinuses, and nasopharynx. But it does not address cancers of the brain, thyroid, or esophagus because they are very different in terms of symptoms and treatment. RESOURCES: Head and Neck Cancer Surv...

Head and neck cancer audit: large variances in survival rates reported
The national head and neck cancer audit has found that the four year crude survival rate from the head and neck group of cancers ranged from over 60% in patients diagnosed with cancer of the voice box (larynx) to only 33% in patients with cancer of the hypopharynx (the area where the larynx and oesophagus meet).

EORTC head & neck cancer trial shows assessing HRQOL is valuable to both patients and their doctors
(European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer) EORTC trial 24954 set out to compare two treatment schemes for patients with respectable hypopharyngeal and laryngeal cancers, and the results published in Cancer show that there is a trend towards worse HRQOL scores in patients receiving alternating chemoradiotherapy (alternating arm) as opposed to those given sequential induction chemotherapy and radiotherapy (sequential arm). However, very few differences reached the level of statistical significance, and most patients' HRQOL scores returned to baseline once treatment was completed. (Source: EurekAlert! - Cancer)
