Anterior Skull Base Tumors
In recent years, interest in the management of anterior skull base tumors has been fostered by the introduction and subsequent rapid expansion of indications of transnasal endoscopic techniques. In parallel, extraordinary progress has been made in all the other disciplines which are involved in the complex process of managing anterior skull base tumors, leading to substantial improvements in diagnosis and treatment. The anterior skull base can be involved in a large variety of tumors of a varying nature and histology, which in the majority of cases originate from adjacent anatomic sites. In fact, primary lesions of the anterior skull base mainly include osteoma and other tumors originating f...
Diagnosis, Epidemiology and Treatment of Salivary Gland Carcinomas
Salivary gland carcinomas (SGCs) are a heterogeneous group of rare head and neck cancers made of more than 20 pathologic types. Although the treatments of the early or loco-regionally advanced disease are similar across the different entities, these malignancies have variable biological characteristics and clinical behaviors. These specificities, especially the pathologic type and, when available, the molecular profile, are taken into account while choosing the treatment for the recurrent/metastatic phase. In this context, only few druggable molecular targets have been tested so far and not all are available in clinical practice. However, due to the rarity of SGCs, clinical trials are challenging to conduct, and most of the available evidence comes from retrospective studies.
Women in Gynecological Oncology: 2021
We are delighted to present the inaugural Frontiers in Oncology "Women in Gynecological Oncology” series of article collections. At present, less than 30% of researchers worldwide are women. Long-standing biases and gender stereotypes are discouraging girls and women away from science-related fields, and STEM research in particular. Science and gender equality are, however, essential to ensure sustainable development as highlighted by UNESCO. In order to change traditional mindsets, gender equality must be promoted, stereotypes defeated, and girls and women should be encouraged to pursue STEM careers. Therefore, Frontiers in Oncology is proud to offer this platform to promote the work of women scientists, across all fields of Oncology.
Advances in Radiotherapy for Head and Neck Cancer
Modern Radiotherapy (RT) plays a key role in the management of Head and Neck Cancer (HNC). More precise delivery techniques, advanced image-guidance, and adaptive treatments characterize modern RT, enabling safer treatments with enhanced therapeutic window. Although patients identify the cure as their most important treatment outcome, complications related to treatment are a recognized problem as follow-up increases among those cured within this oncologic setting. This is particularly relevant for HPV-related oropharyngeal cancer (OPSCC), as these patients are younger, healthier, and more reactive to treatment. Thus, given the longer life expectancy, the jeopardizing impact of side effects on quality of life (QoL) and psychosocial functioning represent a forefront topic for HNC Researchers. De-escalation protocols have been developed recently, and, although not definitive, evidence is growing. This pertains particularly, but not exclusively, to HPV-related OPSCC.
