Arteries of the Head and Neck01:26

Arteries of the Head and Neck

4.3K
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...

Veins of Head and Neck01:19

Veins of Head and Neck

7.7K
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...

Cancer Vaccines

1.3K
Cancer treatment vaccines are a rapidly evolving field that offers a promising approach to immunotherapy. Unlike traditional vaccines that prevent diseases, cancer treatment vaccines are designed to treat existing cancers by stimulating the immune system to recognize and attack cancer cells.
Cancer vaccines come in two categories: preventive (prophylactic) and treatment (active). Preventive vaccines, such as the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine, protect against viruses that cause certain...

Targeted Cancer Therapies

7.1K
The targeted cancer therapies, also known as “molecular targeted therapies,” take advantage of the molecular and genetic differences between the cancer cells and the normal cells. It needs a thorough understanding of the cancer cells to develop drugs that can target specific molecular aspects that drive the growth, progression, and spread of cancer cells without affecting the growth and survival of other normal cells in the body.
There are several types of targeted therapies against...

Cancer Therapies

8.6K
Cancer therapies are various modes of treatment, such as surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy that are administered to cancer patients.
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Otolaryngology
  • Speech-Language Pathology

Background:

  • Head and neck cancer presents unique challenges impacting deglutition.
  • Dysphagia in these patients stems from tumor-induced anatomical disruption or treatment side effects.
  • Cancer treatments like surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy significantly alter swallowing function.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the incidence of head and neck cancer.
  • To examine the anatomical changes resulting from surgical interventions for head and neck cancer.
  • To discuss the consequences of treatment-related dysphagia and outline assessment and rehabilitation strategies.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of studies on head and neck cancer incidence.
  • Analysis of anatomical alterations following common surgical procedures.
  • Synthesis of information on dysphagia consequences and management techniques.

Main Results:

  • Head and neck cancer incidence varies globally.
  • Surgical interventions frequently lead to significant anatomical changes affecting the swallowing mechanism.
  • Radiation and chemotherapy exacerbate dysphagia, impacting patient quality of life.

Conclusions:

  • Dysphagia is a common and significant complication of head and neck cancer and its treatment.
  • Comprehensive assessment is crucial for identifying specific swallowing impairments.
  • Tailored rehabilitation strategies are essential for improving functional swallowing and quality of life in patients with head and neck cancer.
