BackgroundAspiration pneumonia is one of the most important side effects of chemoradiotherapy (CRT) and bio-radiotherapy (BRT) in patients with head and neck cancer (HNC). Aspiration pneumonia can lead to cancer-related mortality in HNC patients. However, the relationship between aspiration pneumonia occurring during CRT or BRT for HNC and treatmen...

This study aims to provide a way to estimate the volume of the thyroid remnant and determine its relationship with the outcome of radioiodine (RAI) therapy in depth. A retrospective analysis was performed on patients who underwent initial RAI therapy between January 2010 and January 2016. The patients were divided into five groups based on the thyr...

BackgroundOn the elastic profiles of human teeth after radiotherapy for head and neck cancers, generation of dental complications, which may bring several side effects preventing the quality of life, has not well clarified. Thus, we aimed to show the applicability of using 320 MHz Scanning Acoustic Microscopy (SAM) in the evaluation of the tooth da...

BackgroundPatients with human papillomavirus-positive (HPV+) oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPC) have substantially better treatment response and overall survival (OS) than patients with HPV-negative disease. Treatment options for HPV+ OPC can involve either a primary radiotherapy (RT) approach (± concomitant chemotherapy) or a primary surg...

To verify the usefulness of the recalculated dose (reDose) with deformed image (dCT) and contour structures (dST), we obtained the reDose in the treatment planning system by using dCT and dST, and analyzed the accuracy of both the deformed dose (dDose) acquired by using commercialized deformable image registration (DIR) algorithms and the reDose by...

Immunity & Ageing
IntroductionThe number of aging cancer patients has increased continuously and will do so further in the future. The immune system of elderly people experiences critical changes over the time. Therefore, tumor-induced changes in the immune system are believed to differ in young and elderly cancer patients as well.MethodsThe effect of aging on the i...

Squamous cell carcinoma is the most common type of oral and oropharyngeal cancers. Incomplete surgical removal of the tumor is often the cause of local recurrence of the disease and appearance of metastases. We have developed the novel endoscope fluorescence video system for visualization of micrometer size objects in real-time mode. The novel syst...

Postswallow pharyngeal pooling may be a risk factor for tracheal aspiration. However, limited literature shows the potential association between pharyngeal pooling and aspiration in head and neck cancer (HNC) patients. This study investigates the relationship between postswallow pharyngeal pooling and aspiration in HNC patients with oropharyngeal d...

Head and neck cancers (HNC) represent 5% of all malignancies worldwide with about 180,000 cancer deaths per year. Patients with HNC are characterized by a systemic inflammatory state, generally associated with worse outcomes. Treatment-related toxicity is common among HNC patients and causes systemic consequences such as fatigue or cognitive dysfun...
