Function, postoperative morbidity, and quality of life after cervical sentinel node biopsy and after selective neck dissection.

30 Mar 2009 BACKGROUND: Sentinel node biopsy (SNB) has been proposed for staging of N0 neck in oral/oropharyngeal carcinomas. It is claimed that SNB may be superior to selective neck dissection (SND) with respect to quality of life (QOL) and postoperative ... Read more...

Screening for dysfunction to promote multidisciplinary intervention by using the University of Washington Quality of Life Questionnaire.

30 Mar 2009 OBJECTIVE: To investigate the potential of the University of Washington Quality of Life Questionnaire (UW-QOL) in routine clinics as a quick screening tool for possible dysfunction in patients after treatment of head and neck cancer. DESIGN: ... Read more...

Surgical salvage of cancer of the oropharynx after chemoradiation.

27 Feb 2009 Advanced oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma is treated primarily with chemoradiation, with the goal of excellent disease control and preservation of swallowing and articulation functions of the oropharynx. Disease control rates generally are ... Read more...
