AI Article Synopsis
- Head and neck cancer (HNC) is a major global health issue, often associated with significant economic costs, and is influenced by genetic factors like annexin variants.
- A study examined the relationship between eight specific SNPs in 139 HNC patients and 135 healthy individuals using genetic analysis methods, revealing certain SNPs are linked to increased or decreased susceptibility to HNC.
- Key findings indicate that the SNP rs4958897 increases HNC risk, while rs11960458 reduces it, suggesting these genetic markers could aid in HNC prognosis and diagnosis for the Chinese Han population.
Article Abstract
Background: Head and neck cancer (HNC) is the sixth most common malignant tumor worldwide and imposes a serious economic burden on society and individuals. Annexin has been implicated in multiple functions which are essential in HNC development, including cell proliferation, apoptosis, metastasis, and invasion. This study focused on the linkage between variants and HNC susceptibility in Chinese people.
Methods: Eight SNPs in from 139 HNC patients and 135 healthy controls were genotyped by the Agena MassARRAY platform. The correlation of SNPs with HNC susceptibility was evaluated using odds ratio and 95% confidence interval calculated by logistic regression using PLINK 1.9.
Results: Overall analysis results demonstrated that rs4958897 was correlated with an increased HNC risk (allele: OR = 1.41, = 0.049; dominant: OR = 1.69, = 0.039), while rs11960458 was correlated with reduced HNC risk (OR = 0.54, = 0.030). In age ≤ 53, rs4958897 was related to reduce HNC risk. In males, rs11960458 (OR = 0.50, = 0.040) and rs13185706 (OR = 0.48, = 0.043) were protective factors for HNC, but rs4346760 was a risk factor for HNC. Moreover, rs4346760, rs4958897, and rs3762993 were also correlated with increased nasopharyngeal carcinoma risk.
Conclusions: Our findings suggest that polymorphisms are linked to the susceptibility to HNC in the Chinese Han population, indicating that may serve as a potential biomarker for HNC prognosis and diagnosis.

Background: In this study we explored the association of polymorphisms of glutathione s transferase gene including GSTM1, GSTT1 and GSTP1 with adverse acute normal tissue reactions resulted from radiotherapy in HNC patients. We assessed the association of GSTM1 and GSTT1 null genotypes and Ile105Val of exon-5 and Ala114Val of exon-6 of GSTP1 gene polymorphisms with the risk of acute skin toxicity reactions after therapeutic radiotherapy in HNC patients.
Methods: Four hundred HNC patients administered with Intensity modulated radiation therapy were enrolled in this study for the evaluation of radiotherapy associated toxicity reactions.

Background/purpose: Dental management prior to radiotherapy is often time-critical, and there are no studies on whether manipulations such as tooth extraction influence the risk of severe radiation-induced oral mucositis (ROM) during radiotherapy. Therefore, the aim of this study was to describe the relationship between dental management and the incidence of severe ROM.
Materials And Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 144 head and neck cancer (HNC) patients who received dental management before radiotherapy at Peking University Cancer Hospital, from January 2016 to December 2017.

Objectives: To investigate the consistency of associations between modified frailty index-5 (mFI-5) and postoperative adverse outcomes in head and neck cancer (HNC) reconstruction.
Methods: American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (ACS-NSQIP) database from 2017 to 2022 was utilized to identify HNC patients undergoing locoregional or microvascular free tissue transfers. Kaplan-Meier estimates and multivariable Cox regression analyses were utilized to compare risk of infections, bleeding, readmissions, reoperations, major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), and mortality within the first postoperative month for each mFI-5 score with mFI-5 = 0 as reference.

Survival rate of head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC) patients are still to date very poor, and the application of innovative clinical approaches are urgently needed. Cold atmospheric plasmas (CAPs) are partially ionized gases that have shown anti-tumor effectiveness over a wide range of cancer types with potential application into clinics. However, the comprehension of the mechanisms underlying indirect CAP effects plays a key role for the prediction of treatment outcomes.

Purpose: Sarcopenia, characterized by loss of skeletal muscle mass (SMM) and strength, often leads to dysphagia in the elderly. This condition can also worsen treatment outcomes in head and neck cancer (HNC) patients, who are susceptible to swallowing difficulties. This study aimed to establish the correlation between swallowing muscle mass (SwMM) and SMM in HNC patients.
