Exosome Therapy for a Nonhealing Scalp Wound Following Chemoradiation and Surgical Therapy.

This case report describes the safety and utility of a noninvasive therapy, Purified Exosome Product (PEP), for poorly healing scalp wounds in the setting of prior chemoradiation and surgery. A man in his 60s with a history of high-grade angiosarcoma of the right temporoparietal scalp reconstruction had a 1-year history of 2 nonhealing scalp wounds after neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by concurrent chemoradiation therapy, wide local excision, and latissimus dorsi free flap and split-thickness skin graft. The patient underwent débridement followed by 4 collagen (Bellafill)-PEP and 4 fibrin (Tisseel)-PEP applications during 7 months in 2022.

Addressing positive multi-cancer early detection tests in head and neck Surgery: Experience with head and neck work up for high-risk referrals.

Objectives: Blood-based multi-cancer early detection (MCED) tests are now commercially available. However, there are currently no consensus guidelines available for head and neck cancer (HNC) providers to direct work up or surveillance for patients with a positive MCED test. We seek to describe cases of patients with positive MCED tests suggesting HNC and provide insights for their evaluation.
