Objective
This systematic review evaluates the efficacy and morbidity of transnasal endoscopic nasopharyngectomy as a salvage treatment for advanced-stage recurrent nasopharyngeal carcinoma (rNPC).
Methods
Following PRISMA guidelines, we conducted a systematic search in Medline, Scopus, and PubMed, identifying studies on transnasal endoscopic nasopharyngectomy for rNPC. Inclusion criteria encompassed histologically confirmed rT3 and rT4 NPC patients previously treated with radiotherapy or chemoradiotherapy. Data on overall survival (OS), disease-free survival (DFS), and complications were extracted and analyzed.
Results
Nine studies, including a total of 429 patients, met the inclusion criteria. Five studies reported 2-year overall survival (OS) rates ranging from 34.6 % to 88.7 %. Three studies reported 3-year OS rates between 50 % and 63.5 %. Long-term 5-year survival varied widely from 0 % to 100 % across three studies. One study detailed 1-year disease-free survival (DFS) and OS at 93 % and 98 %, respectively. The pooled analysis included 429 patients with a median follow-up of 26.1 months. Complications were predominantly minor and transient. Major complications included necrosis, hemorrhage, cranial nerve palsy, and death. Advanced surgical techniques and pre-treatment measures, such as internal carotid artery embolization, improved resection outcomes and reduced complication rates.
Conclusion
Transnasal endoscopic nasopharyngectomy emerges as a viable salvage option for advanced rNPC, offering favorable survival outcomes and manageable complication profiles. Future research should focus on refining surgical techniques and improving patient selection criteria to further enhance treatment efficacy.

Objectives
The incidence of oropharyngeal cancer continues to rise in the United States, yet studies on the quality of life (QoL) of oropharyngeal cancer patients are limited. The objective of this pilot study was to assess the impact of oral health on the QoL in oropharyngeal cancer survivors.
Materials and Methods
Oropharyngeal cancer survivors with a confirmed cancer diagnosis from 1996 to 2016 were sampled from the Utah Cancer Registry. The Oral Health Impact Profile-14 (OHIP-14) questionnaire was administrated between January and May of 2019. The impact of oral health on QoL was evaluated using simple linear regression (β-coefficient).
Results
Among the 260 oropharyngeal cancer survivors, the majority were male (84.6 %) and ≥ 60 years of age at the time of cancer diagnosis (74.0 %). The most frequently reported symptoms of OHIP-14 were discomfort while eating any foods (19.2 %) and worsening sense of taste (16.0 %). The overall OHIP-14 mean score was 13.3. Significantly worse OHIP-14 scores were observed for females (β = 12.85, p = 0.01), chemotherapy recipients (β = 6.60, p = 0.02), and past smokers (β = 5.25, p = 0.04). Better OHIP-14 scores (better oral QoL) were observed in patients with distant cancer stage (β = −7.66, p = 0.01), higher income (β = −2.50, p = 0.05), and older age at cancer diagnosis (β = −0.35, p = 0.03).
Conclusion
The oral health-related quality of life scores observed in this pilot study suggest a need for improvement in patient symptom management over time.

Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is the sixth most common cancer type worldwide. In recent years, there has been an increase in the rate of HNSCC cases attributed to the infection of the oropharynx by the human papillomavirus (HPV). Given the significant treatment-related toxicities of the current standard of care for HPV-positive HNSCC, there is an urgent need for the development of precision patient stratification and treatment strategies to improve patients’ quality of life while maintaining excellent survival rates. We have previously carried out whole genome sequencing of HPV+ HNSCC tumors that failed concurrent cisplatin and radiation treatment and discovered that MACROD2 deletion is enriched among these tumors. In the current study, we sought to investigate the mechanistic role of MACROD2 in HPV+ HNSCC treatment resistance. Our results indicate that MACROD2 depletion in HNSCC cell lines leads to increased cell viability and colony formation capacity. Interestingly, MACROD2 depletion did not alter cisplatin sensitivity but led to an increase in radiation resistance of HPV+ HNSCC cell lines. RNA sequencing and immunofluorescence microscopy demonstrated that MACROD2-depleted HPV+ HNSCC cells displayed elevated levels of hypoxia and an altered DNA damage response. Taken together, this study establishes and characterizes the role of MACROD2 in HPV+ HNSCC radioresistance. Further work is needed to validate MACROD2 as a biomarker of treatment failure and to understand how to overcome the identified molecular mechanisms of resistance.

Background
Oral cancer is the sixth most prevalent cancer globally, posing a significant health concern, especially in India, where it accounts for one-third of the global cases. Despite high incidence and mortality rates, comprehensive national and regional data on risk factors and trends are scarce.
Methods
This study analyzed data from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2021 report, focusing on the age-standardized incidence rate (ASIR), mortality rate (ASMR), disability-adjusted life years (ASDR), and prevalence rate (ASPR) of oral cancer in India from 1990 to 2021. Joinpoint regression analysis was used to assess trends, and ARIMA models were applied to forecast future trends from 2022 to 2031.
Results
From 1990 to 2021, India experienced a moderate increase in oral cancer mortality, with ASMR rising from 5.32 to 5.92, reflecting an annual percentage change (APC) of 11.18 %. ASDR increased from 152.94 to 163.61 (APC of 6.98 %), and ASPR showed a marked rise from 15.71 to 25.46 (APC of 62.06 %). The burden varied significantly across states. Gender disparities were observed, with males consistently exhibiting higher incidence and mortality rates. ARIMA forecasts projected an upward trend in oral cancer metrics from 2022 to 2031, with ASIR expected to reach 10.15 per 100,000 and ASPR 29.38 per 100,000 by 2031.
Conclusions
The study reveals a persistent and growing burden of oral cancer in India, highlighting the influence of lifestyle and socioeconomic factors. Targeted strategies to mitigate risk behaviors, improve early detection, and address disparities are urgently needed to reduce the disease’s impact.

Background
In the United States, approximately 63,000 Americans develop head and neck cancer (HNC) annually. Our study aims were to investigate cardiovascular complications and risk factors for development of CVD among HNC survivors.
Methods
Utilizing the Utah Populations Database, a total of 1,901 HNC patients diagnosed and 7,796 birth year, sex, and birth state matched individuals from the general population were identified. Multivariate Cox proportional hazard models were used.
Results
Within the first two years after cancer diagnosis, HNC survivors had a higher likelihood of developing cardiovascular disease (CVD). High Charleston Comorbidity Index (CCI) score at baseline (Hazard Ratio (HR) 1.67, 95 % 1.28–2.17), stage II and IV disease (HR 1.80, 95 % 1.29–2.51), age >=65 years old (HR 2.31, 95 % 1.85–2.88), chemotherapy (HR 1.47, 95 % 1.15–1.88) were associated with increased CVD risk.
Conclusions
Compared to the general population, HNC survivors were more likely to develop cardiovascular diseases, particularly if they had the following risk factors: older age, stage II or IV cancer, high baseline CCI score, and chemotherapy were risk factors for development of CVD.

Background
This systematic review investigated the surgical, functional, and oncological outcomes of transoral robotic supraglottic laryngectomy (TORS-SGL) for cT1-T3 laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC).
Methods
Two investigators conducted an updated PubMed, Scopus, and Cochrane Library systematic review for studies investigating the surgical, functional, and oncological outcomes of TORS-SGL using the PRISMA statements. The bias analysis was conducted with the MINORS.
Results
Twenty-one studies were included, accounting for 896 patients. TORS-SGL was primarily performed for cT1 (39.1 %), cT2 (46.9 %), and some selected cT3 (7.7 %) LSCCs. Surgical margins were positive in 10.8 % of cases. The mean hospital stay was 8.6 days. Hemorrhage (6.3 %), pneumonia (5.5 %), and aspiration (1.7 %) are the primary complications. The surgical margins were positive in 10.6 % of cases. Feeding tubes, temporary tracheotomy, and definitive percutaneous gastrostomy are found in 65.6 %, 19.7 %, and 5.2 % of patients, respectively. The oral diet is restarted after a mean of 7.2 days. The 5-year OS and DFS of TORS-SGL were estimated to be 78.3 %, and 91.7 %, with 5-year local-relapse-free survival and nodal-relapse-free survival of 90.8 %, and 86.6 %, respectively.
Conclusion
The TORS-SGL is a safe, and effective surgical approach for cT1-T3 SGL. The functional and surgical outcomes appear comparable with TOLM-SGL. The oncological outcomes of TORS-SGL could be better than TOLM and open SGLs, but further large cohort-controlled studies are needed to draw reliable conclusions.

Background
The complexity of lip anatomy and the roles played by the lip make the reconstruction of lip defects more challenging. Adequate reconstruction of lip defects requires adaptation of mucosa, vermilion, and skin features in lip as well as its specific function.
Methods
A 59-year-old male with left lower lip cancer underwent en-bloc resection and left selective neck dissection (SND), followed by immediate reconstruction using Facial Artery Myomucosal Island Flap (FAMMIF) with external Skin Complex Tissue.
Results
The use of chimeric flap based on FAMMIF and its external skin tissue allowed minimizing the postoperative problem of combination of both aesthetic and functional impairments. The FAMMIF is suitable for the reconstruction of lip mucosa and lip vermilion, while the external skin tissue can be use to replace the external lip skin defect. The patient was satisfied with the treatment outcomes. He is undergoing follow-up without any evidence of recurrence.
Conclusion
FAMMIF with external skin complex tissue, as a reconstructive approach selected in our case of lip defect secondary to lip cancer resection, combined the reconstruction of both aesthetics and functions of the lower lip. The technique was found feasible and provided satisfactory postoperative outcomes.

Background
In cases of positive resection margin (RM), re-resection is generally recommended. There has been controversy about the oncologic impact of revised negative RMs after re-resection. The aim of this study was to investigate the oncologic impact of revised negative RM in patients who underwent surgery without adjuvant therapy for early-stage (pT1-2/N0) oral tongue squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC).
Methods
We retrospectively analyzed patients with pT1-2 N0 OSCC who did not receive adjuvant therapy (N=441). These patients were classified into an initial negative RM (R0, n = 380) group and a revised negative RM (R1-R0, n = 61) group. Demographic and clinical data (T stage, tumor length, depth of invasion [DOI], lymphovascular invasion [LVI], perineural invasion [PNI], and recurrence) were compared between the R0 and R1-R0 groups.
Results
Age, sex, T stage, DOI, LVI, PNI, and SUVmax were not significantly different between the two groups. Local recurrence was more frequent (P=0.045) in the R1-R0 group (13.1 %) than in the R0 group (5.5 %). Local recurrence-free survival was better in the R0 group than in the R1-R0 group (P=0.046). There was no significant difference in overall recurrence or overall survival. On multivariate analysis, initial positive RM was the independent significant risk factor (hazard ratio, 2.249; 95 % confidence interval, 1.025–4.935; P=0.043) for local recurrence.
Conclusion
A revised clear RM after initial cut-through margin is a risk factor for local recurrence in early-stage OSCC. Cautious should be considered in early-stage OSCC patients with revised clear RM.

Background
Accurate prediction of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) response allows for NAC-guided personalized treatment de-intensification in HPV-positive oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC). In this study, we aimed to apply baseline MR radiomic features to predict NAC response to help select NAC-guided de-intensification candidates, and to explore biological underpinnings of response-oriented radiomics.
Methods
Pre-treatment MR images and clinical data of 131 patients with HPV-positive OPSCC were retrieved from Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center. Patients were divided into training cohort (n = 47), validation cohort 1 (n = 49) from NAC response-adapted de-intensification trial (IChoice-01, NCT04012502) and real-world validation cohort 2 (n = 35). NAC prediction model using linear support vector machine (SVM) was built and validated. Subsequent nomograms combined radiomics and clinical characteristics were established to predict survival outcomes. RNA-seq and proteomic data were compared to interpret the molecular features underlying radiomic signatures with differential NAC response.
Findings
For NAC response prediction, the fusion model with both oropharyngeal and nodal signatures achieved encouraging performance to predict good responders in the training cohort (AUC 0·89, 95% CI, 0·79-0·95) and validation cohort 1 (AUC 0·71, 95% CI, 0·59-0·83). For prognosis prediction, radiomics-based nomograms exhibited satisfactory discriminative ability between low-risk and high-risk patients (PFS, C-index 0·85, 0·76 and 0·83; OS, C-index 0·79, 0·76 and 0·87, respectively) in three cohorts. Expression analysis unveiled NAC poor responders had predominantly enhanced keratinization while good responders were featured by upregulated immune response and oxidative stress.
Interpretation
The MR-based radiomic models and prognostic models efficiently discriminate among patients with different NAC response and survival risk, which help candidate selection in HPV-positive OPSCC with regard to personalized treatment de-intensification.
