Doctors use transoral robotic surgery to treat head and neck cancer. They may also use it for obstructive sleep apnea. It can often lead to better surgical outcomes than other surgery types. Transoral ...
Ferris et al 1 have conducted and published the results of the E3311 trial. In the 2000s, RTOG performed phase II trials testing intensity-modulated radiotherapy in multi-institutional settings, and ...
Low-dose radiation at 50 Gy without chemotherapy following transoral surgery (TOS) led to very high survival and outstanding quality of life in patients with human papillomavirus-positive (HPV+) ...

When discussing laryngeal cancer, it's not just about survival: swallowing, breathing, and especially the voice are at stake.
A new robotic surgical procedure offers patients with oral and head and neck cancers a less invasive treatment option that preserves speech and the ability to eat, while possibly helping them avoid ...
(A) A multi-degrees of freedom forceps manipulator. (B) Articulated manipulator for minimally invasive surgery. (C) Single­port laparoscopy bimanual robot. (D) Multigear array mechanism. A review ...
A new white paper by the American Foregut Society (AFS) summarizes the published outcome data for Transoral Incisionless Fundoplication 2.0 (TIF 2.0) and Concomitant Transoral Incisionless ...
A recent study demonstrated that a lower dose of radiation after surgery for HPV-related throat cancer may provide a greater benefit than a higher dose of radiation with chemotherapy. Transoral ...
Less can sometimes be more. New findings show that low-dose postoperative radiation therapy following transoral surgery led to "outstanding oncologic outcome and favorable functional outcomes" in ...
A new study from researchers at Henry Ford Hospital finds an incisionless robotic surgery - done alone or in conjunction with chemotherapy or radiation - may offer oropharyngeal cancer patients good ...
Intraoperative frozen section histology (IFSH) demonstrates high diagnostic accuracy for individual surgical margins in human papillomavirus (HPV)-related oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) ...
