Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Kathleen Mais"
Kathleen Mais' recent research primarily focuses on optimizing treatment strategies and improving outcomes for patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) through various therapeutic approaches, including chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and supportive care measures.
The studies highlight the complexity of treatment response and survival prediction, indicating that pre-treatment tumor perfusion parameters and initial RECIST response may not effectively predict long-term survival outcomes, necessitating a more nuanced understanding of these factors in clinical practice.
Additionally, research on adjunct therapies, such as the use of active manuka honey and nutritional support, showcases advancements in supportive care aimed at enhancing patient well-being during aggressive treatment regimens.
