Oncological results of salvage treatment in patients with oropharynx carcinoma treated with radiotherapy.

Objective: To evaluate the possibilities of salvage after local recurrence in patients with oropharyngeal carcinomas treated with radiotherapy, and to analyse the prognostic factors related to the final control of the disease.

Methods: Retrospective study of 596 patients with oropharyngeal carcinoma treated with radiotherapy during the period 1991-2018.

Results: One hundred and eighty-one patients (30.

Results of radiotherapy in oropharyngeal carcinomas.

Objective: To present the results of radiotherapy treatment in patients with oropharyngeal carcinomas.

Material And Methods: Retrospective study of a cohort of 359 patients treated with radiotherapy, including chemo- and bio-radiotherapy, during the period 2000-2019. Information on human papillomavirus (HPV) status was available for 202 patients, of whom 26.

Differential characteristics of patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck with no history of tobacco or alcohol use.

Objective: The present study aims to analyse the differential characteristics of patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) without a history of consumption of toxic substances such as tobacco and alcohol.

Material And Methods: We carried out a retrospective study of 4694 patients with HNSCC located in the oral cavity, oropharynx, hypopharynx or larynx treated in our centre during the period 1985-2019.

Result: 7.

Prognostic value of the nodal yield in elective neck dissections in patients with head and neck carcinomas.

Purpose: The objective of this study is to assess the prognostic capacity of the nodal yield in elective neck dissections performed in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC) without clinical or radiological evidence of regional involvement (cN0) at the time of diagnosis.

Methods: Retrospective study including 647 patients with HNSCC treated with an elective neck dissection.

Results: Patients with < 15 dissected nodes (n = 172, 26.

Trends in disease-specific survival of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma patients treated in a single institution over a 30-year period.

Objective: Over the last few decades, there have been changes in the diagnostic capabilities and treatment of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) patients. However, the impact of these changes on the ultimate survival of patients remains unclear. The objective of this study was to analyze the changes in disease-specific survival of patients with HNSCC treated consecutively over a period of 30 years in a tertiary center.

Prognostic capacity of the weighted lymph node ratio in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma patients treated with salvage neck dissection.

Purpose: The aim of the study was to assess the prognostic capacity of the recently described weighted lymph node ratio (WLNR) in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) who undergo salvage neck dissection for regional recurrence.

Material And Methods: We retrospectively studied 197 adult patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma treated with salvage neck dissection from 1990 to 2017.

Results: The mean value for the WLNR for all patients was 26.

Weighted lymph node ratio: New tool in the assessment of postoperative staging of the neck dissection in HPV-negative head and neck squamous cell carcinoma patients.

Backgound: The objective of this study is to assess a new parameter, the weighted lymph node ratio (WLNR), which incorporates prognostic information regarding the number of metastatic nodes with extracapsular spread and the lymph node yield for pN0 patients to the lymph node ratio.

Methods: We studied retrospectively 1118 patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) treated with a neck dissection.

Results: We obtained a classification with four categories based on the WLNR values.

Prognostic capacity of the lymph node ratio in squamous cell carcinomas of the head and neck.

Introduction And Objectives: Lymph node density or lymph node ratio (LNR), defined as the quotient between the total number of positive lymph nodes and the total number of dissected lymph nodes, has demonstrated a prognostic capacity in several tumour models, including patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC). The aim of the present study is to analyse the prognostic value of LNR in a wide cohort of patients with HNSCC.

Methods: We carried out a retrospective study of a cohort of 1,311 patients with HNSCC treated with unilateral or bilateral neck dissections.

Oncological results of salvage laryngectomy in patients with laryngeal carcinoma.

Objective: To analyse the oncological results of a salvage total laryngectomy in patients with a laryngeal carcinoma.

Material And Methods: Retrospective review of a cohort of 241 patients treated with a salvage laryngectomy after a local recurrence. The initial treatment received by these patients was radiotherapy (n=201, 83.
