Purpose: The role of dental implants as part of functional and esthetic oral rehabilitation after ablative intraoral tumor surgery has been established. The purpose of this article is to highlight the phenomenon of tumor recurrence around dental implants.
Materials And Methods: Twenty-one consecutive cases of patients all treated surgically for squamous cell carcinoma of the oral mucosa between January 2003 and December 2007 were reviewed, regardless of staging. Dental rehabilitation was established by means of oral implants. Fifty-six implants were placed either during tumor ablation surgery (16 patients) of afterward (5 patients). Radiotherapy was given according to the guidelines of the NWHNT (Netherlands Working group on Head and Neck Tumors).
Results: In the group of simultaneous implantation, 3 patients developed local recurrence around one of the implants. No recurrence was found in the group implanted in second stage surgery. Local recurrence around a dental implant is a severe oncological setback that drew our attention.
Conclusion: Influence on radiation fields and errors in surgical techniques are discussed, as well as the possibility of inducing changes in sensitized mucosa. Because of the small number of patients, no conclusions can be drawn. Further multicentered examinations should be performed.

Lesions of monkeypox affect the oral mucosa in approximately 70% of infected patients and reported as the first clinical sign of the disease, manifesting as macules, papules, vesicles, or blisters, which are highly contagious and are followed by the appearance of lesions on the face and extremities of the body. These lesions have clinical aspects like recurrent herpes simplex, herpes zoster, and secondary syphilis and should be part of differential diagnoses. The clinical course after initial oral manifestation is shown to support the clinical diagnosis.

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy, recurrence rates, and safety profile of intravesical gemcitabine plus docetaxel versus standard Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) therapy for treating naïve non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC), focusing on reducing recurrence and progression concerns associated with transurethral resection (TURBT).

Traditionally, dermatological education emphasizes hair, skin and nails in its curriculum. There is a practice gap with regard to knowledge of normal oral mucosa variants, performance of the oral examination, and competence in diagnosing and treating oral mucosal disorders. The oral mucosa falls within the purview of dermatology.

Mandibular gingival squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is the second most common oral cancer after tongue cancer. As these carcinomas often invade the mandible early, accurately defining the resection extent is important. This report highlights the use of preoperative virtual surgery data, computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology, surgical guidance, and extended reality (XR) support in achieving highly accurate marginal mandibulectomy without recurrence or metastasis.

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are effective in treating recurrent/metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), but only 20% of patients achieve durable responses. This study evaluated circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) as a real-time biomarker for monitoring treatment response in HNSCC. The SHIZUKU-HN study prospectively collected and analyzed serial plasma samples (n = 27) from HNSCC patients undergoing ICIs, using Guardant360 to assess ctDNA variant allele frequency (VAF) and genetic mutations.
