Alexiou In Press, Corrected Proof, Available online 2 July 2019 Purchase PDF Abstract Head and neck cancer poses a significant health problem worldwide. We set out to investigate the value of rapid intraoperative cell cycle analysis by flow cytometry for the intraoperative characterization of head and neck lesions and surgical margins. Seventy patients with head and neck lesions suspicious of malignancy were included in the study. There were 31 neoplastic and 39 benign lesions. Flow cytometry permitted the intraoperative detection of neoplastic lesions within 6 min with high sensitivity and specificity based on cell cycle fractions. In the cases in which surgical margins were assessed, intraoperative flow cytometry had complete concordance with pathology. Intreoperative flow cytometry is a novel promising technique for rapid intraoperative characterization of malignancy and tumour free resection margins in head and neck lesions. select article Cowden's syndrome: A case report CorrespondenceNo access Cowden's syndrome: A case report Zhongfeng Liu, Qi Wang, Jun Li In Press, Corrected Proof, Available online 28 June 2019 Purchase PDF select article Agreement between skeletal muscle mass measurements using computed tomography imaging and magnetic resonance imaging in head and neck cancer patients CorrespondenceNo access Agreement between skeletal muscle mass measurements using computed tomography imaging and magnetic resonance imaging in head and neck cancer patients N.

Early diagnosis and effective management of this condition can be challenging to the clinicians. Bisphosphonates and other anti-angiogenic agents are the most common drugs that are attributed to cause medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw. In the past, arsenic-based compounds were commonly used local agents for pulp devitalization therapy. Arsenic is also one of the components of the chemotherapeutic regimen in the management of refractory leukemia. Although local diffusion of the arsenic compounds is known to cause osteonecrosis, there are no reports of the same caused by its systemic administration. Here, we present the first ever case of mandibular bone necrosis in a patient with acute promyelocytic leukemia who underwent systemic arsenic trioxide therapy. select article Limiting radiotherapy field to ipsilateral side only in unresected lateralised HPV positive N2b squamous cell carcinoma of the tonsil CorrespondenceNo access Limiting radiotherapy field to ipsilateral side only in unresected lateralised HPV positive N2b squamous cell carcinoma of the tonsil Muhammad Shahid Iqbal, Josef Kovarik, Charles Kelly In Press, Corrected Proof, Available online 12 June 2019 Purchase PDF select article Conceptual interpretation of findings on systematic review and meta-analysis of altered-fractionation radiotherapy improves local control in the early-stage glottic carcinoma CorrespondenceNo access Conceptual interpretation of findings on systematic review and meta-analysis of altered-fractionation radiotherapy improves local control in the early-stage glottic carcinoma Rama Jayaraj, Chellan Kumarasamy, Shanthi Sabarimurugan, Madurantakam Royam Madhav, ...
