Background
This study evaluates the prognostic significance of 18F‐fluorodeoxyglucose‐positron emission tomography ([F‐18]FDG‐PET)‐derived metabolic tumor volume (MTV) in human papillomavirus (HPV)‐associated oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinomas (OPSCCs) in the context of AJCC 8th edition staging.
Methods
We performed a retrospective study of HPV‐associated OPSCCs treated with postoperative or...
BACKGROUND
The authors hypothesized that unilateral intensity‐modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) would decrease toxicity compared with bilateral IMRT for patients with lateralized palatine tonsillar cancer and a neck classification of N0 to N2b, with similar oncological outcomes.
METHODS
A total of 154 patients were treated with postoperative IMRT from 1997 through 2013. Data were collected prospectively...
BACKGROUND
Patients who are chronically immunosuppressed have higher rates of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (cSCC‐HN). This is the largest multi‐institutional study to date investigating the effect of immune status on disease outcomes in patients with cSCC‐HN who underwent surgery and received postoperative radiation therapy (RT).
METHODS
Patients from 3 institutions who...
BackgroundThe purpose of this study was to compare outcomes of patients with p16‐positive oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) treated with postoperative intensity‐modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) before and after an institutional dose reduction policy effective on February 2009.
MethodsBetween 1998 and 2013, 175 consecutive patients with p16‐positive oropharyngeal SCC with extracapsular extension...
