Nasal Cavity Squamous Cell Carcinoma: Factors Associated With Treatment Outcomes and Potential Organ Preservation.
Am J Rhinol Allergy
January 2023
Department of Head and Neck Surgery & Communication Sciences, 12277Duke University Health System, Durham, North Carolina.
Background: Squamous cell carcinoma of the nasal cavity (NCSCC) is a rare, challenging malignancy. Surgical resection of this tumor can cause significant facial deformity, and indications for adjuvant or organ preservation therapies are not well-described.
Objective: To examine the impact of treatment regimen on survival outcomes in NCSCC and to compare surgical to non-surgical based therapies.
A Retrospective Study of Lymph Node Yield in Lateral Neck Dissection for Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma.
Ear Nose Throat J
August 2022
Department of Head and Neck Surgery & Communication Sciences, 12277Duke University Health System, Durham, NC, USA.
Objective: Lateral neck dissection (LND) is important in managing papillary thyroid carcinomas (PTCs). This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between lymph node yield (LNY) for LND and patient outcomes, specifically postoperative serum thyroglobulin levels (sTG) and radioiodine uptake on thyroid scan, and to estimate a threshold LNY to signify adequate LND.
Methods: Patients diagnosed with PTC who underwent LND from 2006 to 2015 at a single institution were included.
