While cancer-specific survival rate was in favor of patients who undergo early RC for high-risk NMIBC, significant proportion of patients still would be overtreated. In addition, the potential morbidity and mortality of the RC must be taken into consideration. Therefore the careful follow-u...
I was diagnosed with AML two years ago (a variety with a poor prognosis). Underwent chemo, radiation, and a bone marrow transplant, am still recovering and in remission, for now. I've spent a decent amount of time considering cancer, mortality, death positivity, and such matters. I came...
The clinical samples used for the study originated from ~ 15 distinct subsites within the head and neck region, the majority belonging to the glottis/epiglottis, pharynx, tongue, nasal cavity and larynx. In males, the risk group (age group with the highest number of incidences) for HNSCC...

Radiologists usually are inclined to rely on asymmetry to detect lesions in the neck, which naturally makes the midline a potential blind spot for easily overlooked supraglottic tumors involving the epiglottis or pre-epiglottic fat (Fig. 3). Attention on sagittal plane imaging to abnormally promine...

The vagus nerve (CN X) gives motor function to the soft palate, pharynx, larynx and esophagus, and general sensation to the larynx. This includes the lingual side of the epiglottis, and important sensory site that always triggers deglutition (a basic mechanism to protect the airway). Finally...
The International Union Against Cancer (UICC) classification describes degree of extension according to tumoral prognosis. A tumor (T) is subject to the following invasions: TNM may be prefixed as cTNM (clinical), pTNM (anatomopathological), mTNM (primitive multiple tumor), rTNM (recurrent), or...
