Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to gather insights from international experts on the efficacy and challenges of two minimally invasive surgical techniques, transoral laser microsurgery (TLM) and transoral robotic surgery (TORS), for treating supraglottic laryngeal tumors.
- A survey was conducted with 27 head and neck surgeons, finding that TLM generally took less setup time compared to TORS, although both techniques faced concerns about bleeding during surgery, particularly with TLM.
- Experts viewed TLM and TORS as largely equal in effectiveness, but noted that TORS offered better control over bleeding and improved visibility during the procedure.
Oncocytic adenocarcinoma (OC) of the salivary glands is a rare and controversial entity. It was recently reclassified as "salivary carcinoma NOS and emerging entities" in the 2022 WHO classification of head and neck tumors. The lack of specific molecular alterations and its potential affiliation with other salivary gland carcinomas, such as the oncocytic mucoepidermoid carcinomas (OMEC) or the oncocytic subtype of salivary duct carcinomas (OSDC) justified this reclassification.

Materials And Methods: This retrospective multicentric study, based on the French national network on rare head and neck cancers (REFCOR), included all patients with a T3-T4 salivary carcinoma of the tongue, diagnosed between January 2009 and December 2018.
Article Synopsis
- Salivary carcinomas of minor salivary glands, particularly in the tongue, are rare tumors that may require surgery and/or (chemo-)radiotherapy for treatment.
- A study involving 103 patients diagnosed between 2009 and 2018 found that the most common types were adenoid cystic and mucoepidermoid carcinomas, with surgery being the primary treatment for most cases.
- Results indicated that 5-year overall survival was 84.7%, while event-free survival was lower at 38.6%; nonsurgical treatment, alcohol use, and tumor location negatively impacted event-free survival, while nodal positivity was a key factor affecting overall survival.
