Veins of Head and Neck01:19

Veins of Head and Neck

The blood drainage from the head and neck is primarily managed by three pairs of veins: the external jugular, internal jugular, and vertebral veins. The external jugular veins drain superficial scalp and face structures, passing over the sternocleidomastoid muscles to empty into the subclavian veins.
On the other hand, the vertebral veins, unlike their arterial counterparts, are not primarily responsible for brain drainage. Instead, they drain the cervical vertebrae, spinal cord, and some small...
Arteries of the Head and Neck01:26

Arteries of the Head and Neck

The human body's intricate network of arteries ensures that every organ system receives the necessary oxygen and nutrients for optimal function. The arterial network in the head and neck region is particularly complex, providing vital blood flow to the brain, eyes, and other critical structures. Prominent arteries in this region include the internal carotid arteries and the vertebral arteries.
The internal carotid arteries supply blood to the anterior portion of the cerebrum. They enter the...
Rous Sarcoma Virus (RSV) and Cancer01:03

Rous Sarcoma Virus (RSV) and Cancer

Rous Sarcoma virus or RSV was discovered by F. Peyton Rous in the year 1911 as a filterable transmissible agent that could cause tumors in chickens. He won a Nobel Prize for this discovery in 1966. His experiments clearly demonstrated that some cancers could be caused by infectious agents and led to the discovery of many more cancer-causing viruses in animals as well as humans.
RSV is a retrovirus that contains two copies of a plus-strand  RNA genome. Its genome consists of four main open...

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Surgical Pathology
  • Medical Research

Background:

  • Head and neck sarcomas are rare, heterogeneous neoplasms.
  • Effective treatment necessitates multidisciplinary consultation.
  • This study clarifies clinical behavior and evaluates treatment outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the clinical behavior of head and neck sarcomas.
  • To evaluate treatment strategies and outcomes.
  • To review relevant literature on these rare tumors.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 15 patients with head and neck sarcoma (1998-2007).
  • Histologic confirmation with immunohistochemical analysis.
  • Imaging (CT, MRI) used to assess tumor extension.

Main Results:

  • Mean age 38.4 years; 15 patients (9 female, 6 male) included.
  • Complete remission achieved in 8 cases with combined therapy (surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy).
  • Three cases showed metastases; two local recurrences; two deaths from metastasis.

Conclusions:

  • Head and neck sarcomas are diverse, rare neoplasms affecting all ages.
  • Rhabdomyosarcoma is the most common type, particularly in children.
  • Multimodal treatment is essential for optimizing outcomes, with 5-year survival ranging from 44% to 80%.
