The primary treatment modality of oral cancer is generally determined according to the stage of the disease, with surgical treatment remaining the mainstay of multimodal treatment. When selecting the treatment, many factors are taken into consideration, and the treatment should be tailored individually to the patient’s needs and consider the quality of life as well as the survival of the patient. Early-stage disease is primarily managed with surgery or brachytherapy without functional morbidity, whereas for advanced-stage disease multidisciplinary treatment is recommended, not only for enhanced survival but also for improved quality of life. After resection of large primary tumors, reconstructive surgery is required. Free tissue transfer currently represents one of the most popular and reliable techniques for oral reconstruction. For cN0 neck, elective neck dissection is recommended when the risk of occult metastases is >20 %, when the neck is entered either for resection of the primary tumor or for reconstruction, or when the patient is unlikely to return for a close follow-up. Sentinel node biopsy is performed investigationally. Modified radical neck dissection is the gold standard for cN+ neck. For patients with multiple node metastases or extracapsular spread, postoperative radiotherapy or chemoradiotherapy is recommended, with the lymph nodes situated outside the confines of the radical neck dissection, such as the lingual and retropharyngeal nodes, receiving considerable attention. Targeted therapy for oral cancer is still a relatively new concept, and more studies are needed to confirm the clinical effectiveness of these drugs.

To develop a European White Paper document on oropharyngeal dysphagia (OD) in head and neck cancer (HNC). There are wide variations in the management of OD associated with HNC across Europe. Experts in the management of specific aspects of OD in HNC across Europe were delegated by their professional medical and multidisciplinary societies to contribute to this document. Evidence is based on systematic reviews, consensus-based position statements, and expert opinion. Twenty-four sections on HNC-specific OD topics. This European White Paper summarizes current best practice on management of OD in HNC, providing recommendations to support patients and health professionals. The body of literature and its level of evidence on diagnostics and treatment for OD in HNC remain poor. This is in the context of an expected increase in the prevalence of OD due to HNC in the near future. Contributing factors to increased prevalence include aging of our European population (including HNC patients) and an increase in human papillomavirus (HPV) related cancer, despite the introduction of HPV vaccination in various countries. We recommend timely implementation of OD screening in HNC patients while emphasizing the need for robust scientific research on the treatment of OD in HNC. Meanwhile, its management remains a challenge for European professional associations and policymakers.

European white paper : oropharyngeal dysphagia in head and neck cancer

Korean Society of Thyroid-Head and Neck Surgery appointed a Task Force to develop clinical practice guidelines for the surgical treatment of laryngeal cancer. This Task Force conducted a systematic search of the EMBASE, MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, and KoreaMed databases to identify relevant articles, using search terms selected according to the key questions. Evidence-based recommendations were then created on the basis of these articles. An external expert review and Delphi questionnaire were applied to reach consensus regarding the recommendations. The resulting guidelines focus on the surgical treatment of laryngeal cancer with the assumption that surgery is the selected treatment modality after a multidisciplinary discussion in any context. These guidelines do not, therefore, address non-surgical treatment such as radiation therapy or chemotherapy. The committee developed 62 evidence-based recommendations in 32 categories intended to assist clinicians during management of patients with laryngeal cancer and patients with laryngeal cancer, and counselors and health policy-makers.
