Fourteen patients with recurrent or persistent carcinoma of the oral cavity or oropharynx were treated with Au-198 grain implants at the Santa Creu i Sant Pau Hospital from June 1987 through April 1991. Five patients presented recurrent carcinoma, four patients persistent carcinoma, and five
To quantify the impact of the degree of robustness against setup errors and range errors on organ-at-risk (OAR) dose and normal tissue complication probabilities (NTCPs) in intensity-modulated proton therapy for oropharyngeal cancer patients.
For 20 oropharyngeal cases (10 unilateral and 10

Edema is a frequent clinical observation following chemoradiation treatment (CRT) of oral/oropharyngeal cancer and is thought to contribute to post-CRT swallowing impairment. Our aims were to reliably quantify pharyngeal edema pre- and post-CRT from videofluoroscopic (VF) swallowing
A 66-year-old male was referred to our hospital because of severe pitting edema in the lower extremities in April 2003. He had undergone a partial gastrectomy for gastric cancer 17 years before and radiotherapy for oropharyngeal cancer 1 year before. He had suffered from the edema for 4 years. Loop
The effect of radiation on speech and swallowing function was assessed for 18 patients surgically treated for oral and oropharyngeal cancer. Nine patients received surgical intervention and postoperative radiation therapy, and nine received surgery only. Patients were matched regarding percentage of
To determine the efficacy, feasibility, and toxicity of treated with platinum-based chemoradiotherapy for oropharyngeal carcinoma. A retrospective survey of 91 patients who underwent platinum-based chemotherapy and radiotherapy for oropharyngeal cancer at Aichi Cancer Center Hospital between 1971
A 52-year old man was referred to our service for evaluation after being diagnosed with oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) revealed a mass in the left tonsillar pillar, as well as submental lymphadenopathy. The extent of tumor infiltration was assessed
OBJECTIVE
In this report, we discuss a patient with acute pseudomembranous supraglottitis complicating recurrent tonsillar carcinoma and describe the ramifications of these disorders on perioperative management.
METHODS
The patient was an acutely ill man with a history of right tonsillar carcinoma
OBJECTIVE
To observe the effect of 125I seeds implants in advanced head and neck cancer.
METHODS
Treatment fields were designed to encompass the tumor/edema volume with a 2-3 cm margin, based on assessment of diagnostic CT images, 125I seeds were inserted into there and permanent left there for
OBJECTIVE
The goal of this research was to evaluate the healing processes of acute mucosal radiation reactions (AMRR) in patients with head and neck cancer.
METHODS
In 46 patients with oral and oropharyngeal cancer patients irradiated with conventional (n = 25) and accelerated (n = 21) dose
