Background The current treatment results of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma still remain modest. Various prognostic factors have been investigated and need to be included in the management decision making. Methods We reviewed the pertinent literature regarding host, tumor, and treatment factors as prognostic indicators that influence outcome in patients diagnosed with laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma. Results Host, tumor, and treatment factors all have an important impact upon an individual patient's prognosis with laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma, whereas staging systems only take into account tumor factors. There is much work yet to be done to establish reliable, independent biomarkers that predict survival and response to treatment. Conclusions Optimal outcomes for an individual patient can be achieved when taking into account tumor, host, and treatment factors. © 2020 The Authors.

The purpose of this study is to systematically review the oncologic and functional outcomes of patients with hypopharyngeal carcinoma when treated with primary transoral laser microsurgery. Methods A comprehensive literature search was performed using PRISMA methodology on OVID MEDLINE and EMBASE. Meta-analysis was completed for oncological outcomes. Results Six studies reported quality of life outcomes five reported oncologic outcomes. A median of 95% (range 0.83-0.98) patients achieving gastrostomy independence, a median of 3% (range 0%-6%) were tracheostomy dependent, and a median of 97% (Range 0.89-1.0) were able to preserve their larynx. Pooled five-year overall survival was 54% (CI, 0.50-0.58, I2 = 29%), pooled disease-specific survival was 72% (CI, 0.68-0.77, I2 = 46%), and pooled local control rate was 78% (CI, 0.72-0.85, I2 = 69%). https://www.selleckchem.com/products/VX-770.html Conclusion Systematic review supports improvements in functional outcomes and oncologic outcomes with transoral laser microsurgery. © 2020 The Authors.

Methods We retrospectively investigated the data of 49 patients with advanced T2 or T3 SCC-L who received a RADPLAT regimen with low-dose cisplatin. Results The 5-year locoregional control, disease-specific survival, and overall survival rates were 83.3%, 88.1%, and 82.6%, respectively, while the 5-year freedom from laryngectomy, laryngectomy-free survival, and laryngo-esophageal dysfunction-free survival rates were 89.6%, 79.4%, and 77.1%, respectively. The incidences of grade 3-4 hematologic and nonhematologic toxicities were 18% and 6%, respectively. Although two patients (4%) developed late toxicities within 5 years following RADPLAT, no other events were noted beyond 5 years. Conclusion This pilot study demonstrated that RADPLAT is feasible and safe and yielded favorable survival outcomes and functional laryngeal preservation in patients with advanced T2 or T3 SCC-L.

The crux of a TB revolves around making treatment decisions based on succinct head and neck cancer (HNC) patient data presentations, which can be challenging and complex. Apart from meticulous TB presentations, discussions and treatment plan documentation is equally important. The aim of this study was to structure an electronic synoptic TB data presentation to address all these areas. The overarching benefits of systematic TB data collection include facilitating audits and research. Methods We utilized a secure web-based tool that was used for common scientific research purposes but customized to store HNC patient data. The data points were tabulated across eight TB pages (a) TB scheduling, (b) patient biodata, (c) diagnosis details, (d) index presentation, (e) images, (f) management and histopathology, (g) TB presentation, and (h) TB discussion and decisions. Each data point leads to additional firyngology published by Wiley Periodicals, Inc. on behalf of The Triological Society.Objectives In the management of parotid sialocele and fistula, various conservative and surgical methods have been described. Some studies have described the use of Botulinum toxin A (Botox A) for the management of parotid sialocele and fistula. This is a less invasive and potentially equally effective option. We therefore conducted a systematic review on the current body of literature relating to this specific use of Botox A. Methods A search strategy was conducted in July 2019 using the following electronic databases Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, EMBASE, Google Scholar, PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science. A search of all articles from inception until 31 August 2019 was performed. Results Literature searches of electronic databases identified 67 articles eligible for review, of which 15 fulfilled all criteria. These studies were small and in total only 47 patients were included. The majority of sialoceles and fistulas presented as a complication of surgery (77%) with the remaining cases occurring administered with Botox A and eventually resolved. © 2020 The Authors.

Method We designed an adaptor using computer aided software to connect an iPhone XS to an Olympus Rhino-Laryngo Fibre Scope. We experimented with various 3D printing materials and iterative designs to create a case that allowed for quality recording of a nasolaryngoscope exam using the iPhone's built in ×2 telescopic zoom lens. Results Our 3D printed adaptor provides a cost-effective alternative to commercially available FNL smartphone adaptors and is capable of capturing high-quality images and videos of the nasopharynx and larynx. These images are useful for senior clinician review, decrease the need for repeat examination, can be utilized for education, avail telehealth review, and provides a way to digitally record examinations to electronic medical records for future comparison without the need for an endoscopy tower.
