Congratulations to @TopfHNS on his Innovation Catalyst Fund Award -- moving his development of a novel 3D scanner for the creation of visual pathology reports closer to commercialization. Well done! vanderbilt.edu/cttc/for-rese…

A true honor to discuss head and neck cancer with these brilliant oncologists #headandneck #oto @VanderbiltENT @AHNSinfo @AAOHNS
Surgery can play a key role in the mgmt of Head and Neck Cancer. So this week we welcome with Dr. Michael Topf @TopfHNS from @VanderbiltENT to talk surgical decision-making and management in HNC.
We talk complex decision-making, changes in the field, & so much more!

A unique conference for head and neck surgeon scientists! #oto

Our letter to the editor in The Lancet critiquing the MD Anderson-led trial of protons v photons for OPC. Appreciate @SJFrankMD's well thought out response.
I think we can all agree on two points:
1) Steve deserves major kudos for bringing level 1 evidence to the debate on protons v photons for OPC. These trials are extraordinarily difficult to run, and Steve, et al pulled it off. Well done!
2) Longer term follow-up from TORPEdO will help tease out the extent to which protons improves OS in OPC.

Patients with #LaryngealCancer don’t all value the same outcomes.
New data show swallowing and lifespan rank highest, while cure vs quality of life shift—especially after salvage surgery.
Personalized decision-making matters.

Come for the critically important data on protons for oropharyngeal cancer, stay for the beautifully written paper.
TORPEdO is out, and it is fascinating and instructive.
I will warn you upfront that this is a long thread, but there is a lot here to discuss!

Results from a study led by @SJFrankMD found a survival benefit for patients with oropharyngeal cancers treated with proton therapy than the patients receiving traditional radiation therapy.
