Surgical treatment of lung metastases originating from head and neck tumors has shown favorable outcomes with low incidence of complications and mortality. This study aims to investigate survival and prognostic factors following pulmonary metastasectomy for head and neck cancers. A comprehensive review of the literature was conducted through the Medline database, focusing on English-language studies related to surgical treatment of lung metastases from head and neck cancers.

Tenodesis of the long head of biceps is a common shoulder surgical procedure. Tenodesis can be performed either arthroscopically or open and within the glenohumeral joint, within the bicipital groove, or below the pectoralis major tendon insertion. Arthroscopic tenodesis of the biceps tendon reduces the risk of infection.

Instability of the long head of the biceps tendon is a common pathologic condition that may be difficult to identify using history, physical examination, advanced diagnostic imaging, and even arthroscopic diagnostic inspection. The goal of this technical article is to showcase important anatomic features, intra-articular arthroscopic assessment, and commonly associated pathologies that should raise concern for biceps instability. Techniques to address concurrent biceps and subscapularis lesions are also described.

Despite treatment advances, head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) still poses a significant global health challenge. Combination therapies have emerged as more effective strategies than traditional chemotherapy in clinical practice by improving tumor response rates and patient survival while minimizing treatment-related toxicity. This study investigates the anticancer effects of metformin and verteporfin (Yes-associated protein 1 [YAP1] inhibitor) alone or in combination in HNSCC using vitro and in vivo approaches.

Purpose: Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) are pivotal immune cells within the tumor microenvironment (TME), exhibiting dual roles across various cancer types. Depending on the context, TAMs can either suppress tumor progression and weaken drug sensitivity or facilitate tumor growth and drive therapeutic resistance. This study explores whether targeting TAMs can suppress the progression of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) and improve the efficacy of chemotherapy.
