Background: Treatment of squamous cell carcinoma of the supraglottic larynx (SCCSL) in Denmark has changed in several ways from the year 2000 to 2014, including the introduction of IMRT radiation technique and the addition of concurrent chemotherapy (CRT), as well as systematic reduction in waiting times until treatment initiation.
Aim/objectives: Our aim is to investigate the effect of the abovementioned factors on overall survival (OS) and locoregional control (LC) for SCCSL patients.
Materials And Methods: Retrospective cohort study with data from the DAHANCA database. We used the Kaplan-Meier and Cumulative Incidence plots as well as Cox regression analysis.
Results: We found a statistically significant improvement of the 5-year OS of 19.3 percentage points (pp). Cox regression found LC was not improved in patients receiving CRT compared to radiotherapy (RT) alone.
Conclusions And Significance: Introduction of CRT treatment for head and neck cancers in general is known to improve LC. We could not demonstrate this effect for SCCSL specifically, as our results were not statistically significant on this point. OS was significantly improved.

The triglyceride to high density lipoprotein cholesterol (TG/HDL-C) ratio has been consistently linked with the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD). Nevertheless, there is a paucity of studies focusing on acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or experiencing bleeding events. The study encompassed 17,643 ACS participants who underwent PCI.

Cardiac implantable electronic devices infections (CIEDI) are associated with poor survival despite the improvement in transvenous lead extraction (TLE). Aetiology and systemic involvement are driving factors of clinical outcomes. The aim of this study was to explore their contribute on overall mortality.

Associations of adiposity with risks of oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) and non-cardia stomach cancer, both prevalent in China, are still inconclusive. While adiposity is an established risk factor for colorectal cancer, the relevance of fat-free mass and early-adulthood adiposity remains to be explored. The prospective China Kadoorie Biobank study included 0.

Objectives: This study aimed to explore differences in demographics, tumour characteristics and outcomes in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) patients with a history of non-smoking, non-drinking (NSND) versus smoking and/or drinking (SD).
Materials And Methods: Newly diagnosed OSCC patients undergoing curative surgical treatment were prospectively included in OncoLifeS, a data biobank. Cox regression analysis was performed yielding hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (95%CIs).
