Objective: To discuss the clinical relevant factors causing recurrence and failure of laryngeal cancer after partial laryngectomy.

Methods: The clinical data of 183 patients with laryngeal cancer who underwent partial laryngectomy from January 2005 to July 2009 in our hospital were analyzed retrospectively. 12 selected factors which might cause recurrence including sex, age, smoking condition, drinking condition, laryngeal cancer type, T stage, N stage, clinical stage, pathological grade, mode of operation, radiotherapy and margin status were analyzed.

Results: In the 183 patients, 37 cases were recurrence, the recurrence rate was 20.2%, 3-year survival rate was 83.1%, and 5-year-expected survival rate was 71.8%. Seven factors, i.e. T stage, N stage, pathological grades, surgical margins, radiotherapy, drinking and smoking condition were associated with recurrence after partial laryngectomy. Multivariate analysis showed that drinking condition, surgical margins, adjuvant radiotherapy and pN stage were the main factors affecting the prognosis of patients with partial laryngectomy, and they all were risk factors.

Conclusions: Simple surgical treatment of early laryngeal cancer alone can achieve satisfactory therapeutic effect. However, multidisciplinary treatment mode of the operation combined with radiotherapy should be considered for patients with advanced laryngeal carcinoma and positive surgical margins.

Objective: This study aimed to clarify whether nutritional status at admission affects enteral nutrition weaning 6 months after surgery in patients with esophageal cancer.

Methods: This was a retrospective study of 81 patients who underwent subtotal esophageal cancer resection between April 2014 and February 2016. The survey items were as follows: 1) sex, 2) age, 3) presence or absence of family members living together, 4) clinical stage, 5) surgical procedure, 6) reconstructed organs, 7) nutritional status at admission, 8) presence or absence of postoperative complications (anastomotic leakage, chylothorax, and recurrent laryngeal nerve paralysis), and 9) presence or absence of treatment other than surgery (chemo- or radiotherapy).

Background: Airway obstruction secondary to chyle leak is an exceptionally rare phenomenon. Here, we describe this complication in a patient with anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC) undergoing consolidative surgery after BRAF-targeted therapy.

Methods: A 55-year-old man presented with a rapidly enlarging neck mass.

Objective: TRIB3 has been confirmed to participate in and regulate biological metabolic activities in head and neck tumors such as nasopharyngeal carcinoma and oropharyngeal carcinoma, so the purpose of this study was to explore whether there is a correlation between TRIB3 and Laryngeal Squamous Cell Carcinoma (LSCC) and to preliminarily explore the biological characteristics of TRIB3 in LSCC.

Methods: TRIB3 expression in the LSCC was analyzed based on The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. CCK-8 assay, Colony Formation Assay, wound healing assay, and Transwell assay were performed to investigate the roles of TRIB3 in the proliferation, invasion and metastasis of LSCC.

Background And Objectives: Recent advances in multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have shown promise in medical image interpretation, yet their utility in surgical contexts remains unexplored. This study evaluates six MLLMs' performance in interpreting diverse imaging modalities for laryngeal cancer surgery.

Methods: We analyzed 169 images (X-rays, CT scans, laryngoscopy, and pathology findings) from 50 patients using six state-of-the-art MLLMs.

Malignant neoplasms arise within a region of chronic inflammation caused by tissue injuries. Inflammation is a key factor involved in all aspects of tumorigenesis including initiation, proliferation, invasion, angiogenesis, and metastasis. Interleukin-1 (IL-1) plays critical functions in tumor development with influencing the tumor microenvironment and promoting cancer progression.
