Background: We aimed to validate the prognostic significance of tumor budding (TB) in p16-positive oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinomas (OPSCC).
Methods: We analyzed digitized H&E-stained slides from a multicenter cohort of five large university centers consisting of n = 275 cases of p16-positive OPSCC. We evaluated TB along with other histological parameters (morphology, tumor-stroma-ratio, lymphovascular invasion (LVI), perineural invasion) and calculated survival outcomes using both univariate and multivariate analyses.

Salivary gland tumor operations are associated with complications including facial nerve dysfunction (FND) and salivary fistula. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of extracapsular dissection (ECD) and the application of Clostridium botulinum toxin (CBT) in contrast to partial and lateral parotidectomy on complications. All salivary gland tumor operations performed within the last 6 years were retrospectively examined.

Background: No standard has been established for the clinical target volume (CTV) margins of lymph nodes (LNs) in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) receiving chemotherapy or chemotherapy combined with immunotherapy followed by radiotherapy. This study aimed to discuss the CTV range of NSCLC after chemotherapy or chemotherapy combined with immunotherapy by observing the microscopic extent of tumor spread beyond the LN capsule.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the data of 240 patients with stage II and III NSCLC who underwent surgery without neoadjuvant therapy, with neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC), or with NAC combined with immunotherapy (NACI).

Objectives: Postoperative chemoradiotherapy has arisen as an adjuvant option for head and neck cancers, but its superiority to radiotherapy alone in patients with adverse pathologic factors is not yet well defined. We aimed to perform an updated meta-analysis comparing outcomes in head and neck cancer patients with adverse pathologic factors who underwent postoperative chemoradiotherapy and radiotherapy alone.
Methods: We systematically searched PubMed, Scopus and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials for Randomised Controlled Trials (RCTs) in patients submitted to postoperative adjuvant therapy with radiotherapy alone or chemoradiotherapy.

Background: Although survival of patients with oesophagogastric adenocarcinomas has improved over the years, rates of cancer recurrence remain high. There is limited research on predictors of early recurrence (ER), especially in patients receiving FLOT chemotherapy. The aim of this study was to investigate ER and survival rates and identify risk factors for ER.
