: College students experience stressors that can increase the risk for mental health concerns and negatively impact retention rates. It is crucial for practitioners working on college campuses to find creative ways to meet the needs of their students and cultivate a campus culture that is dedicated to bolstering mental health. The purpose of this study was to explore if implementing 1-h mental health workshops covering stress management, wellness, mindfulness, and SMART goals was feasible and advantageous for students.

- The study focuses on the biological differences in HPV-associated oropharyngeal cancer between Black and White patients to enhance prognostic accuracy and treatment personalization.
- The multinucleation index (MuNI) was used to measure the concentration of multinucleated tumor cells in both groups, revealing significant differences: Black patients had a higher MuNI score than White patients.
- The findings indicate that while the established MuNI cutoff is prognostic for White patients, it does not effectively stratify risk for Black patients, highlighting the need for tailored biomarkers in cancer treatment.
Background/aim: Definitive treatment for locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (LAHNSCC) is often compromised in older adults due to concerns about potential treatment toxicity intolerance. We reviewed our institutional experience with definitive management of older adults with LAHNSCC.
Patients And Methods: From our Institutional Review Board-approved registry, we identified patients aged >60 years with stage III-IV, M0 LAHNSCC (seventh/earlier editions of the American Joint Committee on Cancer classification) treated with definitive radiotherapy from 1993-2019.
Background: We sought to determine whether detection of cartilage invasion (CI) by computed tomography predicts oncologic outcomes after primary total laryngectomy.
Methods: Retrospective cohort study comparing oncologic outcomes between radiologic versus pathologic diagnosis.
Results: Assessment of clear CI versus gestalt CI resulted in 84% versus 48% specificity, 90.
Objective: Organ preservation (OP) treatment for advanced laryngeal cancer has increased compared to primary total laryngectomy. Our study compares oncologic and functional outcomes between these approaches.
Study Design: Retrospective cohort study.
