Background: Radiation therapy with or without chemotherapy is commonly used as an adjunct or alternative to surgery for treating head and neck cancer (HNC). In rare cases, radiation-induced side effects such as posterior pharyngeal wall necrosis, fistula formation, and osteoradionecrosis (ORN) can lead to dangerous complications of the cervical spine (C-spine).
Methods: We conducted a literature review on C-spine ORN in HNC, and we reported four additional cases following the treatment of oropharyngeal carcinoma.
Introduction: Bisphosphonates (BPs) are widely used for osteoporosis and cancer-induced bone diseases due to their antiresorptive properties, yet they pose risks such as medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ).
Methods: We present a unique case of concurrent oral squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and MRONJ in a 72-year-old female chronically treated with oral ibandronate for osteoporosis. Following a dental extraction, she developed a nonhealing wound in the maxilla.
We report on the new application, to the best of our knowledge, of a time-domain optical coherence tomography (TD-OCT) device used to measure the ordinary and extraordinary indices of calcite birefringence crystal at room temperature. A 1.25±0.
