HPV-driven oropharyngeal cancer burden in Paris and its region (ILE DE FRANCE) from 1981 TO 2021.

Background: France has the sixth highest incidence of oropharyngeal cancer (OPC) in Europe, but the epidemiological impact of high-risk HPV (HR-HPV) remains poorly documented. The objective of our study was to assess the proportion of OPCs caused by HR-HPV in Paris, and its suburbs, over the four past decades. This area accounts for almost one-fifth of the total population of France.

Oropharyngeal cancer prognosis by tumour HPV status in France: The multicentric Papillophar study.

Aims: To evaluate the impact of human papillomavirus (HPV) status, tobacco smoking and initial treatment approach on progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) for oropharyngeal cancer (OPC) in France, a country where smoking declines started late (1990s).

Methods: 340 OPC patients (median age: 60years) from 14 French hospitals were followed up (median 26.7months).

Respiratory Conditions Associated with Tracheobronchomegaly (Mounier-Kuhn Syndrome): A Study of Seventeen Cases.

Background: Mounier-Kuhn syndrome (MKS) is a rare disorder characterized by enlargement of the trachea and main bronchi and associated with recurrent respiratory tract infections.

Objective: This multicenter, retrospective study was carried out to describe respiratory conditions associated with tracheobronchomegaly.

Methods: Nine institutions involved in the 'Groupe d'Endoscopie de Langue Française' (GELF) participated in this study.

Posterolateral versus interbody fusion in isthmic spondylolisthesis: functional results in 52 cases with a minimum follow-up of 6 years.

Posterolateral fusion has long been considered the "gold standard" technique for surgical treatment of adult spondylolisthesis. Superior results have subsequently been reported with interbody fusion with cages and posterior instrumentation. The goal of this prospective study was to compare the two techniques regarding their clinical outcomes and fusion rates.
