Eleven cases of metastases to the intrinsic larynx are reported. This number constitutes the largest collection from a single institution in the literature and brings the total recorded cases to 83. Cutaneous melanomas are the preponderant primaries, followed by renal cell carcinomas, and carcinomas of the breast and lung, respectively. The supraglottis is the favored site for the metastatic deposit; the glottis, the least frequently involved area.

Discharge Against Medical Advice in Cancer Patients: Insights from a Multicenter Study in Germany.
Cancers (Basel)
December 2024
Epidemiology, IQVIA, 60549 Frankfurt, Germany.
Background: Discharge against medical advice (DAMA) disrupts continuity of care and is associated with increased readmission rates, morbidity, and mortality. While extensively studied in general hospital populations, its prevalence and associated factors in cancer patients, where treatment adherence is critical for outcomes, remain underexplored.
Methods: This multicenter, cross-sectional study analyzed anonymized data from the IQVIA hospital database, including cancer patients hospitalized in 36 German hospitals between January 2019 and December 2023.
Dedifferentiation of a Chondrosarcoma of the Larynx: A Case Report.
Head Neck
January 2025
Department of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, Loyola University Medical Center, Maywood, Illinois, USA.
Background: Chondrosarcomas of the larynx, relatively rare tumors with low grade pathology in approximately 95% of cases, can most often be managed with conservation laryngeal procedures. Dedifferentiated chondrosarcomas are much more rare and aggressive requiring more aggressive surgical extirpation.
Methods: A patient underwent three debulking procedures for a laryngeal chondrosarcoma Grade I/II histologically over a 2.
Complex Management of Brain Metastases in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma: A Case Report and Literature Review.

Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) can, in rare instances, metastasize to the CNS, which is often associated with a poor prognosis. We present the case of a 65-year-old male with a history of HNSCC who developed two enhancing brain lesions: one in the right parietal region and another in the right insular region. Initially, the patient was managed with CyberKnife radiosurgery targeting both lesions.

Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the relationship between peritumoral tumor budding (TB) and cell nest size (CNS) in laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) to enhance prognostic predictions and understand their association with nodal metastasis and overall patient outcomes.
- - Findings confirmed that higher levels of TB and smaller CNS are linked to worse prognostic factors, such as lymph node involvement and higher mortality rates, suggesting that both TB and CNS are reliable independent markers for evaluating LSCC aggressiveness.
- - The results indicate that assessing TB and CNS can provide valuable, cost-effective insights into the prognosis of LSCC patients, facilitating better patient management and treatment strategies.
Nicotine-induced CHRNA5 activation modulates CES1 expression, impacting head and neck squamous cell carcinoma recurrence and metastasis via MEK/ERK pathway.
Cell Death Dis
October 2024
Department of Otolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery, Shanghai General Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, Shanghai, China.
Article Synopsis
- - The study focuses on the mucosal epithelium in the head and neck, where nicotine from tobacco smoke may influence the behavior of head and neck squamous carcinoma (HNSC) cells through nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs), particularly CHRNA5.
- - Various assays (CCK-8, wound healing, Transwell, and clonogenic) were conducted to evaluate the impact of nicotine on cell proliferation, migration, and invasion, revealing that nicotine promotes these processes through CHRNA5.
- - Results indicated that knocking down CHRNA5 reduces tumor cell activity, suggesting a regulatory interaction with CES1 and linking the CHRNA5 signaling to the MEK/ERK pathway, which
