Background: Dysphonia related to head and neck cancer is unique, and demands treatment tailored to its unique pathology. Activate exercises, breathing, counseling, laryngeal manipulation, oral resonance, vocal exercises, and elimination of habits (ABCLOVE) is an 8-week multimodality voice therapy program addressing vocal rehabilitation specifically for patients with head and neck cancer.
Methods: Twenty-nine patients with a history of head and neck cancer were enrolled in the ABCLOVE program and outcomes were retrospectively reviewed. Relative average pertubation, maximum phonation time (MPT), pitch range, Consensus Auditory Perceptual Evaluation of Voice (CAPE-V), and Voice Handicap Index (VHI) were assessed.
Results: The pretreatment and posttreatment improvements in the relative average pertubation (1.86 vs 0.92), MPT (10.53 seconds vs 15.17 seconds), VHI (51.7 vs 29.9), and pitch range (168 Hz vs 244 Hz) were statistically significant (p < .0001). The subjective CAPE-V ratings improved in all but 2 patients.
Conclusion: The ABCLOVE voice program provides clinicians with an effective and reproducible method for voice rehabilitation in patients with head and neck cancer. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Head Neck 38: E1810-E1813, 2016.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a primary liver malignancy characterized by high morbidity and mortality. Recently, ferroptosis has been recognized as an important factor in regulating cell growth in HCC. However, the role of ferroptosis-related genes in HCC remains unclear.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is highly resistant to ferroptosis, which hinders the application of anti-ferroptosis therapy. Through drug screening, it is found that histone deacetylase inhibitor (HDACi) significantly sensitized CRC to ferroptosis. The combination of HDACi and ferroptosis inducers synergically suppresses CRC growth both in vivo and in vitro.

Aim: Hearing loss is a public health issue; further studies are warranted to elucidate preventable factors. This study aimed to explore the associations of bilateral high-frequency hearing loss (HFHL) with examination data and lifestyle behaviors, using the Comprehensive Health Checkup System (Ningen Dock) data in Japan.
Methods: This cross-sectional study used Ningen Dock data obtained from the Seirei Health Care Division for 2020.

Introduction: A recent pan-cancer transcriptome analysis indicated differential activity of alternative promoters of genes TNS3 and LRRFIP1 in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma compared to non-cancerous tissue. The promoters upregulated in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma regulate expression of transcripts TNS3-203 and LRRFIP1-211.
Objective: Our aim was to investigate the biomarker potential of TNS3-203 and LRRFIP1-211 transcripts in oral cancer, the most common type of head and neck cancer.
