Respiratory Tract Neoplasms
Abstract
Airway infantile hemangiomas can cause life-threatening airway compromise from the first year of life. Diagnosis, treatment protocols and outcome measures are not standardized for this condition, making systematic assessment of treatments and outcomes difficult. This article summarizes the treatment...

Cancer Letters (295)1 2010
Abstract
Current anti-cancer research is focused on cell surface receptors targeting, mainly epidermal growth factor receptor and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor, against which a few targeted agents are now available in clinical practice. Recent improvements of our understanding on the intracellu...

Abstract
Airway stenting is highly effective in palliating symptoms of airway obstruction. There are several types of stents available with different advantages and disadvantages depending mainly on the material they are made from. Clinical outcomes seem to be comparable between silicone and self-expanding m...

Abstract
The use of the antiangiogenesis drug bevacizumab along with radiation therapy have been linked to the development of malignant tracheoesophageal fistula/malignant bronchoesophageal fistula in patients treated for both small-cell and nonsmall-cell lung carcinoma. Three case series have been published...

Abstract
Although squamous cell carcinoma is the most frequent malignant diagnosis made with upper aerodigestive tract specimens, a myriad of neoplasms can occur throughout the area. Very uncommonly, one encounters adenocarcinomas that cannot be better classified as salivary gland-type neoplasia. This manusc...

Acta Oncologica (49)5 2010
Abstract
The slightly lower survival of Danish lung cancer patients may be related to a less favourable stage distribution and to an increased prevalence of causal factors, affecting the mortality due to competing risks of death. A reclassification of official causes of death at the cancer registry may be ne...

Abstract
ProEx C is a clean and reliable stain in laryngeal tissue, and stains positive in RRP. This study could not definitively correlate positive ProEx C staining in areas of greater dysplasia, although a trend was observed. Further studies are necessary to determine whether ProEx C can be used in triage...

Abstract
Recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP) is a chronic, frequently debilitating, and potentially life-threatening disease. Therapy for RRP has evolved from simply inserting a tracheotomy to provide an airway and plucking out papillomata with cup forceps to provide some degree of voice to the presen...

Abstract
This is the first report that cidofovir can both increase cell survival and induce alterations in gene expression that are known to be associated with malignant transformation in cells transduced only with the E6 gene from low-risk HPV. It is our belief that these data provide cause for concern over...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the frequency of infection of pharyngeal mucosa, palatal and pharyngeal tonsils with types 6, 11, 16, 18, 31, and 33 human papilloma virus (HPV). A total of 57 children (30 boys and 27 girls) aged from 2 yr 10 mo to 14 yr 5 mo (mean 82+/-28.9 months) were...

Risk Analysis (28)4 2008
Abstract
We study the CIIT model to identify key biological and statistical uncertainties that need careful evaluation if such two-stage clonal expansion models are to be used for extrapolation of cancer risk from animal bioassays to human exposure. Broadly, these issues pertain to the use and interpretation...

We analyzed the association between NKG2D genotype and aerodigestive tract cancer risk. Subjects were 502 aerodigestive tract cancer patients (276 with head and neck, 226 with esophageal) and 1,004 sex-age matched noncancer controls. Exposures to 2 lifestyle factors, smoking and drinking, were evalu...

Abstract
Thirteen articles were identified between 1998 and 2006, representing the treatment of 142 patients. Cidofovir did result in a significant improvement of papillomatous lesions in the majority (60%) of patients despite the use of different regimes of cidofovir administration. There was no unifying pr...

Abstract
A randomized, blinded, placebo-controlled trial is necessary in the study of RRP, because the natural history of the disease can include remissions and reactivations. We found a significant improvement in the Derkay Severity Score 12 months after the baseline assessment in patients treated with cido...

Abstract
The economic burden that was associated with noncervical HPV-6-, -11-, -16-, and -18-related conditions in the US population in the year 2003 approximates $418 million (range, $160 million to $1.6 billion). CONCLUSION: The economic burden of noncervical HPV disease is substantial. Analyses that asse...
