- Abstract
Background: Recurrent pleomorphic adenoma (PA) of the parotid gland is a challenging surgical issue with controversy regarding management and long term outcome., Methods: All patients who were operated for recurrent PA of the parotid gland between the years 1991 and 2013 were reviewed. Patient demographics, clinicopathologic variables, and operative details were collected retrospectively., Results: A total of 22 patients were operated for recurrent PA of the parotid gland. Mean interval between recurrences was 7 and 6 years for first recurrence and second recurrence, accordingly. Second recurrence was significantly influenced by younger age at initial treatment (P = 0.009). Only two patients (9%) with a recurrence developed facial nerve paralysis following surgery. Adjuvant radiotherapy was given to nine patients with no evidence of disease progression or recurrence. There were no cases of malignant transformation., Conclusions: Recurrent PA of the parotid gland tends to occur in long intervals in a multifocal pattern. Adjuvant radiotherapy could be suggested as an alternative for surgery. J. Surg. Oncol. 2016;114:714-718. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc., (© 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.)

- Abstract
Background: Low-risk papillary thyroid carcinoma is commonly treated surgically. However, uncertainties exist in regard to the optimal extent of surgery. We approached this question using a decision-analysis model., Methods: A Markov model was used to compare outcome between patients with small (1-2 cm) low-risk PTC treated by hemithyroidectomy or total thyroidectomy. Probabilities and utilities were derived from the literature. The model was evaluated with Monte Carlo simulation. Sensitivity analysis was used to determine which variables most affected the model., Results: Hemithyroidectomy was associated with a minor increase in mortality risk. After incorporation of mortality risk, complications, and quality-of-life measures, hemithyroidectomy was found to be superior to total thyroidectomy, with an increasing benefit over time. Quality-of-life measures, especially disutility of disease recurrence and undergoing surgery, had the greatest effect on the incremental benefit of hemithyroidectomy., Conclusion: Based on our decision-analysis model, hemithyroidectomy is the preferred option in low-risk PTC.

- Abstract
Objectives: Elective neck dissection during salvage laryngectomy is controversial. The goal of our study was to evaluate the effect of elective neck dissection during salvage laryngectomy in patients with locally advanced disease at recurrence., Design: Multicentre, retrospective study., Settings: Two tertiary medical centres., Participants: Eighty-seven patients treated by salvage laryngectomy., Main Outcome Measures: Disease-Free and Overall Survival., Results: Fifty-seven patients underwent salvage total laryngectomy for locally advanced recurrent squamous cell carcinoma of the larynx, and 30 patients underwent salvage laryngectomy for limited recurrent disease. Elective lateral neck dissection was performed in 48 patients. The groups were similar in age, sex, initial TNM stage and pre-operative treatment. Survival analysis showed that both disease-free survival and overall survival were improved in patients with locally advanced disease who underwent elective neck dissection. This beneficial effect was not demonstrated in patients with limited disease at recurrence. Multivariate analysis showed that the extent of the recurrent disease as well as elective neck dissection was associated with improved disease-free survival and overall survival., Conclusions: Elective neck dissection during salvage total laryngectomy seems to improve survival in patients with advanced local disease at recurrence. The role of neck dissection in the treatment of smaller tumours awaits further studies., (© 2014 John Wiley & Sons Ltd.)

- Abstract
Objective: To identify the prognostic significance of specific lymph node related characteristics for disease persistence and recurrence in patients with pre- or intra-operative evidence of neck metastases and no other risk factors., Method and Results: Sixty-eight patients were identified; 50 per cent had persistent or recurrent disease. All underwent the same treatment strategy. There were no statistically significant differences in any of the patient- or tumour-related parameters when patients with and without persistence or recurrence were compared. Patients with recurrent or persistent disease had significantly larger (>3 cm) metastatic lymph nodes, but there were no differences regarding other lymph node related parameters (i.e. number, extracapsular extension, number of lymph nodes with extracapsular extension, and central vs lateral neck location). On multivariate analysis, however, none of the parameters were predictive of persistent or recurrent disease., Conclusion: In papillary thyroid carcinoma patients with no other risk factors, pre- or intra-operative evidence of cervical metastases was associated with a very high rate of disease persistence or recurrence. Specific lymph node characteristics were not shown to have prognostic significance.

- Abstract
Background: Tobacco smoking and high alcohol consumption are considered major risk factors of oral tongue squamous cell carcinoma. This study compared disease outcome between patients with and without known risk factors., Methods: Patients with oral tongue squamous cell carcinoma treated at two major medical centers from 1994 to 2008 were identified by cancer registry search. The medical files were reviewed for background-and-disease-related data, risk factors, and outcome., Results: The study sample consisted of 291 patients: 175 had a history of heavy tobacco smoking and alcohol abuse and 116 did not. Comparison of the patients without risk factors between the two centers yielded no differences in background features. Men accounted for 74% of the total patients with risk factors and comprised 77% of the risk-factor group. The risk-factor group was characterized by a significantly higher mean tumor grade (p=0.0001) and greater tumor depth of invasion (p=0.022) than the non-risk-factor group. The 5-year local and regional control rates were 85.3% and 74%, respectively, with no significant difference between the groups. The 5-year overall survival rate was 68% in the risk-factor group and 64% in the non-risk-factor group (p=NS). Separate analysis of patients aged <40 years at diagnosis revealed a worse overall (p=0.015) and disease-free survival (p=0.038) in those without risk factors., Conclusions: The outcome of oral tongue carcinoma is similar in patients with and without risk factors. The worse prognosis in younger patients (<40 years) without risk factors suggests that the pathogenesis in these cases involves factors other than smoking and alcohol., (Copyright © 2010 Elsevier Ltd.

- Abstract
Over a period of 32 years, 56 patients with inverted papilloma of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses were diagnosed and treated at Beilinson Medical Center, Israel. Four patients (7%) had an associated malignancy. Several surgical approaches were used: limited intranasal excision in 5 patients with an 80% failure rate, a Caldwell-Luc approach in 21 patients with a 48% recurrence rate, and lateral rhinotomy with medial maxillectomy in 18 patients with only a 22% failure rate; a selected group of 9 patients underwent an endoscopic procedure, with a 22% recurrence rate. Our results and a review of 19 published reports suggest that medial maxillectomy via lateral rhinotomy remains the treatment of choice for most cases of inverted papilloma. The role of endoscopic excision in selected patients is discussed.

- Abstract
Between 1958 and 1990 67 patients with an early glottic carcinoma involving the anterior commissure were treated by radiotherapy. Excluding three with carcinoma in situ, 64 had a T1N0M0 squamous cell carcinoma; in eight of these (12.5%) the tumour was only located in the anterior commissure, in 45 (70.3%) it also involved one vocal cord and in 11 (17.2%) both vocal cords. The overall 5-year survival rate was 85%. For those with only anterior commissure involvement it was 60%, with involvement of one vocal cord and the anterior commissure it was 89% and with involvement of both vocal cords 82%. The 3-year recurrence rate was 58% for patients with involvement of only the anterior commissure, 24% with involvement also of one vocal cord, and 45% for those with involvement of both vocal cords. It was found that in cases of early glottic carcinoma, involving the anterior commissure and treated by radiotherapy, the prognosis for recurrence and survival was poorest when the carcinoma was only located in the anterior commissure, and it was concluded that this group of patients deserves special consideration.

- Abstract
The use of the radial forearm free flap, otherwise known as the "Chinese" flap, to provide reconstruction of large ablative defects of the face or oral lining is reported in three patients. Microvascular anastomosis was used to ensure flap viability. This donor site was found to be especially versatile because it enables the transfer of skin areas of a variety of sizes and because the thin pliable nature of the forearm skin is well suited to replace oral mucosa. Part of the radius and muscles may also be included in the flap.
