Treatment Resistant Cancers02:56

Treatment Resistant Cancers

Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the United States. A cancer cell is genetically unstable and hence can mutate faster. They can also modify their microenvironment and escape immune surveillance. The difficulties in treating cancer are further compounded by the emergence of rapid resistance to anticancer drugs. The most common ways to attain resistance in cancer cells include alteration in drug transport and metabolism, modification of drug target, elevated DNA damage response, or...

Cancer-Critical Genes II: Tumor Suppressor Genes

Genes usually encode proteins necessary for the proper functioning of a healthy cell. Mutations can often cause changes to the gene expression pattern, thereby altering the phenotype.
When the function of certain critical genes, especially those involved in cell cycle regulation and cell growth signaling cascades, gets disrupted, it upsets the cell cycle progression. Such cells with unchecked cell cycles start proliferating uncontrollably and eventually develop into tumors.
Such genes that act...

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Plastic Surgery
  • Head and Neck Surgery

Background:

  • Secondary reconstruction addresses complications or defects following primary head and neck cancer treatment.
  • Timing is crucial, categorized as immediate for acute issues or delayed for long-term sequelae.
  • Delayed reconstruction manages issues arising months to years after initial treatment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To focus on conditions commonly encountered in delayed secondary reconstruction of head and neck cancer.
  • To highlight the importance of planning and patient selection for optimal outcomes.
  • To differentiate delayed secondary reconstruction from immediate reconstruction.

Main Methods:

  • Review of conditions requiring delayed secondary reconstruction in head and neck cancer.
  • Analysis of factors influencing the timing and approach to secondary reconstruction.
  • Emphasis on thorough planning and patient selection criteria.

Main Results:

  • Delayed reconstruction addresses long-term sequelae such as trismus, oral incompetence, and defects.
  • Late complications like plate exposure and osteoradionecrosis (ORN) are managed via delayed reconstruction.
  • The interval for delayed reconstruction varies based on clinical status and patient preference.

Conclusions:

  • Thorough planning and appropriate patient selection are critical for successful delayed secondary reconstruction.
  • Delayed reconstruction is essential for managing long-term functional and aesthetic deficits after head and neck cancer treatment.
  • Understanding the nuances of delayed reconstruction is key for improving patient outcomes.
