Robot-assisted surgery (RAS) has already been approved for several clinical applications in head and neck surgery. In some Anglo-American regions, RAS is currently the common standard for treatment of oropharyngeal diseases. Systematic randomized stu...
The head and neck (HN) consists of a large number of vital anatomic structures within a compact area. Imaging plays a central role in the diagnosis and management of major disorders affecting the HN. This article reviews the recent applications of ma...

Robots are increasingly used in minimally invasive surgery. We evaluated the clinical benefits of robot-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy (RAMIE) in comparison with the conventional open esophageal surgery. From 2012 to 2016, 371 patients wit...
Cancer biomarkers : section A of Disease markers
Jan 1, 2020
BACKGROUND: Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is the seventh most common type of cancer around the world. The aim of this study was to seek the long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) acting as diagnostic and prognostic biomarker of HNSCC.
Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSC) patients are at risk of suffering from both pulmonary metastases or a second squamous cell carcinoma of the lung (LUSC). Differentiating pulmonary metastases from primary lung cancers is of high clinical i...

INTRODUCTION: Malignant lymphoma (ML) is a neoplasm caused by clonal expansion of undifferentiated B, T and NK-lymphoid cells. WHO classification divides lymphomas into two main types, i.e. Hodgkin lymphoma (HL), and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), with ...
Surgical cancer resection requires an accurate and timely diagnosis of the cancer margins in order to achieve successful patient remission. Hyperspectral imaging (HSI) has emerged as a useful, noncontact technique for acquiring spectral and optical p...
PURPOSE: Accurate segmentation of organs-at-risks (OARs) is the key step for efficient planning of radiation therapy for head and neck (HaN) cancer treatment. In the work, we proposed the first deep learning-based algorithm, for segmentation of OARs ...
AIM: To compare survival outcomes for charged particle radiotherapy (CP) and stereotactic body radiotherapy using CyberKnife (CK) in patients who had undergone re-irradiation for head and neck cancers.
BACKGROUND: Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is characterized by the upregulation of a large number of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). The aim of the study was to investigate the level of MMP-9 in the sera of HNSCC patients and its rel...
