Chromatin Position Affects Gene Expression

Chromatin Position Affects Gene Expression

Chromatin is the massive complex of DNA and proteins packaged inside the nucleus. The complexity of chromatin folding and how it is packaged inside the nucleus greatly influences access to genetic information. Generally, the nucleus' periphery is considered transcriptionally repressive, while the cell's interior is considered a transcriptionally active area.
Topologically Associated Domains (TADs)
The 3-dimensional positioning of chromatin in the nucleus influences the...

Area of Science:

Surgical Oncology
Head and Neck Surgery
Thoracic Surgery

Background:

Cervical exenteration is a radical surgical procedure.
It is used for locally invasive cancers of the trachea, esophagus, thyroid, and recurrent tumors.
Occasionally indicated for benign conditions.

Purpose of the Study:

To describe the procedure, reconstruction methods, and potential complications of cervical exenteration.
To highlight its role in cancer treatment and palliation.

Main Methods:

Radical resection of larynx, pharynx, esophagus, and trachea.
Reconstruction of the alimentary tract using stomach or colon.
Management of potential complications like innominate artery erosion.

Main Results:

Significant risks include anastomotic leak, innominate artery erosion, and tracheostomy dehiscence.
Postoperative death is a potential outcome.
Functional results can be equivalent to total laryngectomy.

Conclusions:

Cervical exenteration is a high-risk procedure with considerable morbidity.
In carefully selected patients, it offers a unique opportunity for cure or palliation.
It can achieve functional outcomes comparable to less extensive surgeries.
