Return to work and self-reported swallowing following transoral robotic surgery for early-stage oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma: A retrospective cohort study.

Background: Treatment de-intensification, including transoral robotic surgery (TORS), may outcomes in HPV-positive oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC). Early return to work (RTW) improves quality of life in oncology patients. Our objective was to compare the RTW time in OPSCC patients undergoing primary TORS or chemoradiotherapy (CRT).

The Usefulness of the Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data System in Determining Thyroid Malignancy.

Objectives/hypothesis: To determine the effect of a modified Thyroid Imaging and Reporting Data System (TIRADS) in predicting malignancy in surgically treated nodules.

Study Design: Retrospective review.

Methods: This study was carried out at a tertiary care center from July 2016 to July 2017.
