Background: Study in design to incorporate accelerated proliferation correction factors into linearquadratic and multiple-component models. Materials and Methods: Accelerated proliferation rate correction factor has been incorporated into the linearquadratic and the multiple component models by applying accelerated exponential cell growth to explain the tumor cell kinetics and estimates proper ...

Cellular angiofibroma (CA) is an uncommon benign soft tissue tumor and typically arises in genitourinary region. There are only three reported cases at the head neck region to best of our knowledge; two different sites eyelid buccal mucosa.

INTRODUCTION The necessity of transoral surgery for head and neck carcinoma is increasing, but its indications for the treatment of superficial head and neck carcinomas have not yet been established. This study was intended to help establish the standard indications for transoral surgery and additional therapy in patients with superficial head and neck carcinoma. METHODS Sixty-two patients wi...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to evaluate how gross tumor volume (GTV) affects treatment outcome among different race/ethnic groups in patients with head and neck cancer receiving definitive radiotherapy (RT). METHODS Ninety-one patients with head and neck cancer were treated to a median RT dose of 69.96 Gy in 33 fractions. The patient's self-reported race/ethnicity, primary tumor,...

BACKGROUND Epithelioid tumors in the head and neck are common and include both primary and metastatic lesions. For metastatic lesions, clinical factors, tumor location, and ancillary immunohistochemical studies must be taken into consideration to help the clinician and the pathologist determine the site of origin. One unusual, but important, primary tumor that can metastasize to the head and ne...

The embolization of vascular tumors of the head, neck, and CNS has become an important adjunct to the surgical treatment of these tumors. The procedure has resulted in reduced morbidity and mortality and helps to facilitate the removal of many of these tumors. In tumors that are not amenable to surgical therapy, embolization may occasionally be used as the primary mode of treatment. These guide...

BACKGROUND Management of vascular tumors of the head, neck, and brain is often complex and requires a multidisciplinary approach. Peri-operative embolization of vascular tumors may help to reduce intra-operative bleeding and operative times and have thus become an integral part of the management of these tumors. Advances in catheter and non-catheter based techniques in conjunction with the grow...
