Background: Dysphagia (difficulty swallowing) is a common morbidity resulting from the treatment of head-and-neck squamous-cell carcinoma (HNSCC) due to surgery and chemoradiation. Transoral robotic surgery (TORS) is a minimally invasive surgical technique for the management of HNSCC, which ideally avoids many of the known complications of open surgery. Research describing physiologic swallowing impairment after surgery using videofluoroscopy is lacking.

Objective: This study aimed to observe the dynamic changes in the expression of T lymphocytes, natural killer (NK) cells, and PD-1 in patients with first-diagnosed esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) before and after chemoradiotherapy (CRT) and evaluate the impact of PD-1 expression in peripheral blood on the short-term outcome of patients with ESCC.
Patients And Methods: Seventy-three patients with ESCC who were treated with definitive CRT were enrolled. Before and after CRT, flow cytometry was used to detect thePD-1 expression in the peripheral blood and related immune indicators.

Background: Although the approval of immunotherapy in patients with extensive-stage small-cell lung cancer (ES-SCLC) has significantly improved the patient's prognosis, synchronous chemoradiotherapy has always been the standard treatment for limited-stage small-cell lung cancer (LS-SCLC).
Objectives: Immuno-combined and radio-combined therapy in LS-SCLC has been applied in clinical practice, but what is the best for LS-SCLC?
Design: This was a retrospective cohort study.
Methods: Patients with LS-SCLC from January 2019 to December 2023 were retrospectively screened and divided into three groups according to the initial treatment regimen whether included immune-combined and radio-combined treatment.

Purpose: The management of rectal adenocarcinoma has evolved during the last decade, shifting from a conventional neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy, surgery, and adjuvant chemotherapy in all cases to a total neoadjuvant approach, especially in locally advanced tumors when a sphincter-sparing surgery has been planned. However, the exact indications and the neoadjuvant regimen with the highest response remain unresolved. We aimed to assess whether administering neoadjuvant chemotherapy before and after preoperative chemoradiotherapy could increase the pathological complete response (pCR) rates.
