Purpose: Laryngeal dysplasia represents a series of precancerous lesions, observed as laryngeal leukoplakia. General agreement has been lacking for their management and treatment ranging from simple biopsy to complete excision with cold blade/laser. In this work, we aim at providing the oncological outcomes of patients affected by laryngeal dysplasia, treated with a single modality, and at identifying clinical parameters predictive of malignant transformation.
Materials And Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of patients treated with transoral laser microsurgery between January 2005 and December 2015 in a tertiary comprehensive cancer centre. Data were collected about smoke and alcohol habits, site of the laryngeal lesion, surgical outcomes and progression to invasive squamous cell carcinoma.
Results: The grade of dysplasia, margins' status and smoke habit were not associated with a significantly worse DFS and a higher risk of invasive SCC. We identified three parameters (supraglottic involvement, multifocality and history of more than one recurrence of dysplasia) that have a significant prognostic value.
Conclusions: On the base of these clinical parameters, a more intensive follow-up might be warranted for high-risk patients.

Background: Extracranial carotid artery aneurysm (ExCAA) is a very rare pathology. However, due to local compression symptoms, risk of CNS ischemia, and the potential risk of rupture, it constitutes a significant clinical problem. The small number of cases, substantial differences in etiology and morphology, and various treatment methods of ExCAA disturb the analysis of this pathology.

Purpose: Transoral laser microsurgery is the mainstay in treating early-stage laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma. However, consensus is lacking in non-radical surgery for infiltrating cancer, and even doubts are cast for patients with laryngeal dysplasia at the resection margins. In this study we aim to assess the prognostic significance of laryngeal dysplasia at the surgical margins in patients radically treated for infiltrating cancer.

Objective: Laser treatment of the anterior commissure (AC) poses a potential risk of anterior glottic web (AGW) formation. Effectively addressing and mitigating this potential complication is vital for procedure safety and efficacy. This study evaluates the incidence of AGW following TruBlue laser treatment in patients undergoing AC laryngeal surgery.

Objective: To study the prevalence of synchronous oesophageal cancer in patients with head and neck cancers using Narrow Band Imaging and Lugol's chromoendoscopy.
Materials And Methods: Study design: Prospective cross sectional diagnostic study. Method: 63 recruited patients with head and neck cancers, underwent haematologic evaluation, histological confirmation, imaging which included contrast enhanced computerised tomography(CECT) of the Neck and when indicated an additional Magnetic Resonance Imaging(MRI) scan followed by UGI endoscopy using white light followed by Narrow Band Imaging(NBI) and Lugol's chromoendoscopy(LCE).
