Purpose: This study describes a machine-learning approach utilizing patients' anatomical changes to predict parotid mean dose changes in fractionated radiotherapy for head-and-neck cancer, thereby facilitating plan ad...
With the increasing incidence of salivary gland tumors, partial parotidectomy has become more common, leading to a rise in the occurrence of parotid fistula post-surgery. Parotid fistula can cause redness and erosion ...
BACKGROUND Lung cancer(LC)is the leading cause of malignancy-related deaths worldwide.The most common sites of metastasis include the nervous system,bone,liver,respiratory system,and adrenal glands.LC metastasis in th...
Introduction:Machine learning (ML)‐based facial nerve injury (FNI) forecasting grounded on multicentric data has not been released up to now.Three distinct ML models,random forest (RF),K‐nearest neighbor,and artific...
Kimura’s disease is a rare chronic affection of unknown etiology, endemic in the far east with a net male predominance. We present the case of a 37-year-old female patient who developed a tumor process in the left pa...
Parotid gland tumors are common and mostly benign.The main treatment is surgical excision.The conventional surgical procedure,progressing from shallow to deep tissue,usually comprises three steps:first,exposing of sup...
BACKGROUND Intercalated duct lesions(IDLs)are considered relatively benign and rare tumors of salivary glands,that were only described recently.Their histopathological appearance may range from ductal hyperplasia to e...
Iatrogenic injury or trauma to the salivary gland duct is one of the most common causes of parotid sialoceles,which are usually superficial,soft,and filled with saliva.The enrolled 7 patients with parotid sialocele we...
Parotidectomy is the mainstay treatment for tumors of the parotid gland.In an effort to improve clinical outcomes,several modern surgical techniques and perioperative interventions have been evaluated and refined.This...
Objective:Salivary gland tumors account for 6%-8%of head and neck neoplasms with the parotid gland as the most common primary site.Pleomorphic adenomas(PA)are considered the most common benign parotid gland neoplasms,...
