NCCN Guidelines Insights: Head and Neck Cancers, Version 1.2018
Summary
The National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) Guidelines offer updated head and neck (H&N) cancer treatment strategies. This summary focuses on recent recommendations for evaluating and treating nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
Area of Science:
- Oncology
- Head and Neck Cancer Research
Background:
- The National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) develops evidence-based guidelines for cancer treatment.
- Head and neck cancers encompass a range of malignancies affecting specific anatomical sites.
Observation:
- NCCN Guidelines address cancers of the lip, oral cavity, pharynx, larynx, sinuses, and salivary glands.
- Specific guidance is available for occult primary H&N cancers and advanced H&N cancers.
- This document focuses on nasopharyngeal carcinoma evaluation and treatment.
Findings:
- The panel's discussion and recent recommendations for nasopharyngeal carcinoma are summarized.
- Updated treatment algorithms are provided for various head and neck cancer scenarios.
Implications:
- These guidelines aim to standardize and improve the care of patients with head and neck cancers.
- The recommendations facilitate evidence-based decision-making for clinicians treating nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
- Dissemination of these updated guidelines supports optimal patient outcomes in head and neck oncology.

01:26Arteries of the Head and Neck
3.4K
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...

01:19Veins of Head and Neck
5.7K
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...

01:23Guidelines for Sketching a Curve
151
Curve sketching is a systematic method for understanding the overall behavior of a function by analyzing its key mathematical features. A function defines a curve on the coordinate plane, where the horizontal axis represents the input variable and the vertical axis represents the output. The process begins by determining the domain, which specifies the set of input values for which the function is defined and establishes the horizontal extent of the graph.Intercepts with the horizontal and...

01:26Muscles of the Anterior Neck

The anterior neck muscles are the group of muscles covering the front part of the neck. These muscles are classified into three subgroups. The first one is the superficial muscles, the most visible muscles in the front of the neck. It includes the platysma and sternocleidomastoid. The second group is the suprahyoid muscles, located above the hyoid bone. This group comprises the digastric, mylohyoid, geniohyoid, and stylohyoid. Lastly, the infrahyoid muscles are found below the hyoid bone and...

01:11Guidelines for Writing Outcome

When developing expected outcomes for a patient care plan, the nurse should adhere to the following recommendations:
Patient outcomes reflect the patient's response to the goal rather than what the nurse aims to achieve. Terminology should be observable and measurable to avoid the reader's interpretation. The desired outcome should be realistic and achievable in the designated care timeframe. Expected outcomes should align with adjunctive therapies. The outcome should enhance care...
