          Abstract

          Craniocerebral metastases as the initial spread of supraglottic squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) are exceptional. The presence of several months' history of dysphagia, dyspnea, cachexia, tobacco/alcohol abuse, and seizure(s) is suspicious of craniocerebral metastases from an advanced‐stage supraglottic SCC. Physicians should be aware since early diagnosis and treatment may increase patient survival.

          Clinical Applications of Arterial Spin Labeling in Brain Tumors.

          The aim of this review was to review the basic background, technique, and clinical applications of arterial spin labeling in brain tumors. Arterial spin labeling is used for differentiation of brain tumors from nonneoplastic lesions such as infarction and infection. It has a role in the grading of gliomas and in the differentiation of gliomas from lymphomas and metastasis. It is used for detection of the best biopsy site and prediction of treatment response. Arterial spin labeling is used for the assessment of extra-axial tumors and pediatric tumors. Last, it has a role in the differentiation of tumor recurrence from postradiation changes and in monitoring patients after therapy.

            Intracranial metastases in patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck.

            Intracranial metastases are rarely clinically diagnosed in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. Only 7 patients with metastases to the cavernous sinus from head and neck squamous cell carcinomas have been reported. A retrospective study revealed 13 patients with intracranial metastases of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. In a 53-year-old woman a cavernous sinus metastasis of a laryngeal carcinoma was histologically diagnosed by using a CT-guided surgical navigation system and was treated with stereotactic radiotherapy. The mean survival was 4.3 months. Predictive factors for longer survival were absence of extracranial disease, age younger than 60 years, and treatment with radiotherapy. The prognosis for patients with intracranial disease is poor. The current development of computer-assisted stereotactic navigation and stereotactic radiotherapy may facilitate surgical diagnostic exploration and improve treatment, especially in patients without extracranial disease.

              Treatment complications and survival in advanced laryngeal cancer: a population-based analysis.

              Primary curative treatment of advanced laryngeal cancer may include surgery or chemoradiation, although recommendations vary and both are associated with complications. We evaluated predictors and trends in the use of these modalities and compared rates of complications and overall survival in a population-based cohort of older adults.
