Presentation
CASE REPORT A 56-year-old male presented to the Emergency Department with a 3-week history of a rapidly enlarging left supraclavicular neck mass. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Entire Body System
-
Soft Tissue Mass
Restaging F-FDG PET examination demonstrated a soft tissue mass with intense hypermetabolism in the distal spinal cord and a hypermetabolic leptomeningeal metastatic deposit at the L3 level. The findings were confirmed on MRI prior to treatment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
-
Anemia
Acute toxicities included grade 2 anemia and mucositis in both patients. Radiation dermatitis was grade 2 in one patient and grade 3 in the other. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Oral Ulcers
We report three cases of symptomatic persisting oral ulcerations where the addition of photobiomodulation therapy resulted in a rapid resolution of the oral lesions and in patient symptoms. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Skin
-
Dermatitis
Radiation dermatitis was grade 2 in one patient and grade 3 in the other. Re-irradiation with 42.0-44.4 Gy given twice daily plus paclitaxel was well tolerated and achieved a favorable response. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Bilateral Leg Weakness
A 63-year-old man presented with acute back pain and bilateral leg weakness 5 months after having a surgical treatment for moderately differentiated vocal cord squamous cell cancer (T2 N0 M0). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Suggestibility
These cases suggest that photobiomodulation may represent an adjunct to care of these difficult to manage complications in oncology. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment
Therefore, we collected whole blood and saliva samples from eight head and neck cancer patients before the start of radiation treatment, at mid-treatment and after treatment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis
Saliva, a biological fluid, is a promising candidate for novel approaches to prognosis, clinical diagnosis, monitoring and management of patients with both oral and systemic diseases. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
