In case of cancer of the oral mucosa at the first stage, the standard treatment approach is radical surgical intervention, with the formation of extensive defects leading to aesthetic and functional disorders. Taking into account the characteristics of defects, choosing a flap is a difficult task. Currently, there is a wide selection of regional and microvascular free flaps. However, not all flaps meet the requirements. The supraclavicular fasciocutaneous flap, being a regional flap, has a number of advantages: easy to harvest, reliable due to the constancy of the vascular pedicle, primary closure of the donor site, scarcity of hair, the possibility of closing various defects of the oral cavity. Aim. To evaluate the possibility of using a supraclavicular flap in patients with oral cancer to restore the defects after surgical treatment.Materials and methods. The study included 10 patients with malignant tumors of the oral cavity who underwent surgical intervention with defect replacement using supraclavicular flap at the N. N. Blokhin National Medical Research Center of Oncology between February of 2015 and May of 2021. In 4 cases, buccal mucosa was affected; in 3 cases, the retromolar area; in 1 case, oral floor mucosa; in 1 case, mandibular alveolar ridge; in 1 case, mobile tongue. Flap sizes were 5–10 × 5–8 cm. Three (3) patients had history of radiotherapy, and 1 of them had a radical dose.Results. In 4 patients without previous radiotherapy, partial flap necrosis was observed. In 1 patient, sutural diastasis in the oral cavity after partial flap necrosis was diagnosed. There were no cases of total flap necrosis and fistula formation. Suture dehiscence in the donor bed was observed in 1 patient only.Conclusion. Use of supraclavicular flap is an option for oral cavity defect replacement after surgical intervention in patients with malignant tumors of the oral cavity producing satisfactory esthetic and functional results. The advantages of this flap are simple flap dissection, reliability of vascular pedicle, flexibility, possibility of replacing large defects, scant hair coverage.","PeriodicalId":12937,"journal":{"name":"Head and neck tumors (HNT)","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86189381","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recurrence of head and neck tumors occurs in 50 % of cases and usually has locoregional character. Due to the characteristics of dose distribution, proton beam therapy is a promising treatment option for patients with recurrences of tumors in this location who previously underwent radiation therapy.Aim. To evaluate the effectiveness and tolerability of repeat irradiation using active scanning proton beam therapy in patients with recurrent head and neck tumors who previously underwent radiation therapy.Materials and methods. Between November of 2015 and December of 2020, 40 patients with locoregional recurrence of head and neck tumors underwent treatment using active scanning proton beam therapy at the A. F . Tsyb Medical Radiological Research Center – branch of the National Medical Research Radiological Center. Median cumulative dose of primary irradiation was 64.5 Gy. Median time between primary and repeat irradiation was 35.7 months, mean irradiated volume of the repeat course was 94.5 cm3. Proton beam therapy was performed using standard mode (2 isoGy) and accelerated hypofractionation (2.4 isoGy / 3 isoGy) with mean equivalent cumulative dose of 56.4 Gy (α / β = 10). Radiation toxicity was evaluated using the Radiation Therapy Oncology Group European (RTOG) / Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) scale.Results. Treatment response was achieved in 34 (85 %) patients: in 17 (42.5 %) patients, stable disease was observed; in 10 (25 %) patients, partial response was observed; and in 7 (17.5 %) patients, complete response was observed. In 6 (15 %) cases, disease progression was diagnosed at first follow-up examination. One- and two-year locoregional control, progression-free survival and overall survival were 58.4 / 19.8; 44.5 / 19.8 and 82.3 / 38.8 % respectively with median follow-up duration of 14.2 months. Median survival was 19.5 months. Grade III and above early radiation toxicity was observed in 3 (7.5 %) patients. In total, 6 (15 %) cases of grade III complications and 2 (5 %) episodes of carotid artery rupture leading to death were observed. Overall frequency of complications of grade III and higher was 20 %.Conclusion. Repeat irradiation using proton beam therapy can be considered an effective and safe treatment method for patients with recurrent head and neck tumors. Dosimetric and radiobiological benefits of proton beams allow to achieve balance between high doses and radiation exposure in previously irradiated tissues.","PeriodicalId":12937,"journal":{"name":"Head and neck tumors (HNT)","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88701591","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The prevalence of the tumor process is estimated on the basis of data from a comprehensive examination, including magnetic resonance imaging with intravenous contrast, ultrasound examination of the primary focus of regional and distant metastasis zones, computed tomography and radioisotope studies. The overall 5-year survival rate for localized rhabdomyosarcoma reaches 70 %. During the initial diagnosis, distant metastasis to the lungs, bones, and bone marrow is detected, which significantly worsens the prognosis in 20–25 % of patients. The factors of an extremely unfavorable prognosis for the course of alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma are the occurrence of regional and distant metastases before the start of specific treatment, dissemination of the tumor lesion during treatment, and the presence of translocation of the 13q14 sector. Publications contain data on a high (11.2 %) prevalence of metastases of alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma in the pancreas. In the presence of metastatic lesions of the pancreas, surgical treatment is effective only in combination with chemoradiotherapy. Long-term results of treatment of this cohort of children are unsatisfactory due to the high risk of recurrence and dissemination of the tumor.Aim. To study risk factors, evaluate methods and prospects for the treatment of children with metastatic pancreatic lesions in parameningeal alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma. The article considers three clinical cases of such a lesion. We would like to draw the attention of pediatric oncologists and radiologists to the possible association of metastases in the pancreas in children with localization of rhabdomyosarcoma in the head and neck region, which requires improvement of examination protocols in this group of patients.","PeriodicalId":12937,"journal":{"name":"Head and neck tumors (HNT)","volume":"41 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85766897","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Evaluation of the effectiveness of induction chemotherapy in patients with locally advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the paranasal sinuses and nasal cavity.Materials and methods. Since 2012, 22 patients with locally advanced cancer of the paranasal sinuses and nasal cavity have been treated in our center, who underwent 3-component induction chemotherapy according to the TPF protocol. Evaluation of the effectiveness of treatment was carried out according to the criteria of Response evaluation criteria in solid tumors 1.1 (RECIST 1.1).

Surgical approach for oral cancer treatment is one of the key factors that determines oncologic effectiveness, risk of postoperative complications, need for reconstructive methods etc. Currently, there exists lack of strict criteria for using one or another approaches based on the sound scientific evidence for a primary tumor of given depth of invasion.Aim. The aim of the study is a retrospective comparative analysis of oncologic efficiency of transoral and combined approaches for surgical treatment of tongue and floor of the mouth moderately advanced carcinoma.Materials and methods. 75 patients aged between 30 and 80 years with tongue and floor of the mouth squamous cell carcinoma with depth of invasion from 10 to 20 mm were included into the study. In 29 cases the tumor was resected transorally (Group 1), in 45 – via combined approach (Group 2). Group 2 patients had more advanced tumors both locally and regionally. 13 patients of Group 1 and 27 patients of Group 2 underwent adjuvant radiotherapy. The following parameters were used for comparative analysis: the rate of local and regional recurrence, locoregional control, the rate of distant metastasis and Kaplan–Meyer overall survival.Results. Mean follow up was 33.77 ± 27.72 months (range 14–115 months). The rate of local and regional recurrence was higher in Group 2 (20 % vs 10.3 % and 22.2 % vs 17.2 % respectively). Locoregional control was better in Group 1 (72.4 % vs 62.2 %). The difference for neither of the above-mentioned parameters did not reach statistical significance. Median survival was statistically significantly better in Group 1: 66 ± 17.42 months vs 23 ± 3.85 months (p = 0.030). Poorer treatment results in Group 2 can be explained by a higher proportion of patients with more advanced tumors in this group.Conclusion. The results of the present study do not allow to conclude that combined approach has oncologic advantage over less aggressive transoral approach for tumors with depth of invasion from 10 to 20 mm. It is questionable to recommend the combined approach as a universal one for lesions with such a stage of local invasiveness.","PeriodicalId":12937,"journal":{"name":"Head and neck tumors (HNT)","volume":"102 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88943370","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
