Treatment is complex for patients with head and neck (H&N) cancers with specific site of disease, stage, and pathologic findings guiding treatment decision-making. Treatment planning for H&N cancers involves a multidisciplinary team of experts. This article describes supportive care recommendations in the NCCN Guidelines for Head and Neck Cancers, as well as the rationale supporting a new section on imaging recommendations for patients with H&N cancers. This article also describes updates to treatment recommendations for patients with very advanced H&N cancers and salivary gland tumors, specifically systemic therapy recommendations.

Biochemical Genetics Department, Human Genetics and Genome Research Institute, National Research Centre, 12622 Cairo, Egypt.

Background: Metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD) is an autosomal recessive hereditary neurodegenerative disease caused by a deficiency in arylsulfatase A (ARSA) activity and belongs to the group of lysosomal storage diseases. A biochemical diagnosis of MLD is based on determining the residual ARSA activity in leukocytes, skin fibroblasts, and urine. This study documents our biochemical experience and estimates the relative frequency of MLD over 21 years (2001-2022).
