Abstract
Buccal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) appears to behave more aggressively than other oral subsites, in particular with regards to regional disease at presentation and regional recurrence. Adequate management of the neck is of the utmost importance but is still the subject of debate. An international multicentre retrospective review of 101 patients treated for T1-T2 buccal SCC was performed. Twenty-four were staged clinical node positive (cN+) and underwent therapeutic neck dissection, while 77 were node negative (cN0), with 32 undergoing elective neck dissection (END), with an occult nodal metastasis rate of 28.1%. Depth of invasion (DOI) < 4 mm was associated with a significantly lower rate of cervical nodal metastasis (87.5% versus 12.5%; P = 0.033). END demonstrated a non-significantly lower regional recurrence rate compared to observation (6.3% versus 8.9%, P = 0.670). Regional recurrence was more common in pN+ (24%) and undissected cases (8.9%) than in pN0 patients (0%) (P = 0.011) and was associated with DOI > 5 mm (P = 0.002). Regional recurrence resulted in a reduction in survival (24 versus 93 months, P < 0.001). In the pT2cN0 group, END improved survival (123 versus 26 months, P = 0.009). It is suggested that END be performed in cT2N0 buccal SCC, particularly for tumours with DOI > 4 mm.

Abstract
A clear margin is an important prognostic factor for most solid tumours treated by surgery. Intraoperative fluorescence imaging using exogenous tumour-specific
fluorescent agents has shown particular benefit in improving complete resection of tumour tissue. However, signal processing for fluorescence imaging is complex, and fluorescence signal intensity does not always perfectly correlate with tumour location. Raman spectroscopy has the capacity to accurately differentiate between malignant and healthy tissue based on their molecular composition. In Raman spectroscopy, specificity is uniquely high, but signal intensity is weak and Raman measurements are mainly performed in a point-wise manner on microscopic tissue volumes, making whole-field assessment temporally unfeasible. In this review, we describe the state-of-the-art of both optical techniques, paying special attention to the combined intraoperative application of fluorescence imaging and Raman spectroscopy in current clinical research. We demonstrate how these techniques are complementary and address the technical challenges that have traditionally led them to be considered mutually exclusive for clinical implementation. Finally, we present a novel strategy that exploits the optimal characteristics of both modalities to facilitate resection with clear surgical margins.

Abstract
PURPOSE Radiotherapy (RT) treatment of locally-advanced and recurrent head and neck carcinoma (HNC) results in disappointing outcomes. Combination of RT with cisplatin or cetuximab improves survival but the increased toxicity and patient's comorbidity warrant the need for a less-toxic radiosensitizer. Stimulated by several randomized studies demonstrating the radio-sensitizing effect of hyperthermia, we developed the HYPERcollar. Here, we report early experience and toxicity in patients with advanced HNC. METHODS AND MATERIALS 119 hyperthermia treatments given to 27 patients were analyzed. Hyperthermia was applied once a week by the HYPERcollar aimed at achieving 39-43 °C in the target area, up to patients' tolerance. Pre-treatment planning was used to optimize treatment settings. When possible, invasive thermometry catheters were placed. RESULTS Mean power applied during the 119 hyperthermia treatments ranged from 120 to 1007 W (median 543 W). 15 (13%) hyperthermia treatments were not fully completed due to: pain allocated to hyperthermia (6/15), dyspnea from sticky saliva associated with irradiation (2/15) and unknown reasons (7/15). No severe complications or enhanced thermal or mucosal toxicities were observed. Excluding post-operative treatment, response rates after 3 months were 46% (complete) and 7% (partial). CONCLUSION Hyperthermia with the HYPERcollar proved to be safe and feasible with good compliance and promising outcome.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Evaluation of outcome after curative treatment for sinonasal mucosal melanoma focused on the effect of adjuvant radiotherapy on recurrence and survival. DESIGN Retrospective chart analysis. SETTING Tertiary referral hospital. PARTICIPANTS Fifty-one patients with primary sinonasal mucosal melanoma who underwent surgical resection with curative intention between 1980 and 2016 at Erasmus Medical Center, Rotterdam. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Patients were categorised into 2 groups: surgery alone and surgery with adjuvant radiotherapy. Log-rank test was used to compare rates of recurrence and survival between treatment groups. Predictors for treatment modality, recurrence and survival were assessed with multivariate statistical analysis. RESULTS Of all patients, 23.5% developed local recurrence and 47.1% developed distant metastasis. Estimated 5-year disease-free survival was 25.2%, and 5-year overall survival (OS) was 38.1%. Forty-three patients (84.3%) were treated with post-operative radiotherapy. Patients who underwent surgery with adjuvant radiotherapy presented more often with high tumour stage, tumour involving multiple sites and positive margins. Post-operative radiotherapy seemed to be associated with better local control (P = .549). No effect was found on occurrence of distant metastasis and OS. Positive margin status was an independent negative predictor for distant metastasis-free survival and overall survival. CONCLUSIONS Our treatment outcomes are consistent with literature. Post-operative radiotherapy seems to be associated with improved local control despite advanced disease and positive margin status in this treatment group.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Sinonasal inverted papilloma (IP) has several unfavourable characteristics and therefore requires careful monitoring. The goal of this study was to identify whether serum squamous cell carcinoma antigen (SCCa) could predict IP recurrence. DESIGN A retrospective cohort study. SETTING Department of otolaryngology/head and neck surgery, Erasmus Medical Centre, Rotterdam, the Netherlands. PARTICIPANTS One hundred and thirty patients with IP treated at our centre with SCCa measurements available were included. MAIN OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS Follow-up of patients with IP since 2005, recurrence was defined as new disease within primary localisation at least 3 months after adequate surgical removal. We analysed the association between IP recurrence and serum SCCa values measured preoperatively, postoperatively and during follow-up. RESULTS Preoperative SCCa values or values measured during follow-up were not associated with risk of recurrence. Postoperative SCCa was positively associated with the risk of recurrence (P < 0.001). Postoperative SCCa had a good discriminative ability for the identification of recurrence with an area under the curve of 80.9%. CONCLUSION Postoperative SCCa is strongly associated with risk of recurrence. This might help the surgeon in the postoperative setting by identifying high-risk patients and planning follow-up strategy tailored to the individual patient.

Abstract
Different surgical techniques exist for the treatment of Zenker’s diverticulum (ZD), of which minimally invasive techniques have become the standard. We reviewed our experience with management and treatment of ZD and sought to determine what type of treatment is most effective and efficient. We selected patients who underwent treatment for ZD between January 2004 and January 2014 at our tertiary referral center. All procedures were performed by ENT surgeons. The medical records were reviewed for pre- and intraoperative characteristics and follow-up. Of our 94 patients (58 male, 36 female), 75 underwent endoscopic cricopharyngeal myotomy (42 stapler, 33 laser) and 6 received treatment via transcervical approach. 13 interventions were aborted. Mean operating time was 49.0 min for stapler, 68.3 for laser and 124.0 for the transcervical approach. Its respective median post-operative admission durations were 2.0, 3.0 and 3.0 days. After the first treatment, of the 75 endoscopic procedures, 45 patients (23 stapler, 22 laser) had complete symptom resolution. In the transcervical group 4 (67 %) patients were symptom free and one patient died of complications. In the endoscopically treated patients, ten complications occurred, of which 8 G1 and 2 G2 (Clavien Dindo classification). In the transcervical group 2 complications occurred, 1 G3b and 1 G5. Both endoscopic techniques provide efficient management of Zenker’s diverticulum with the stapler-assisted modality providing a shorter surgery duration and hospital admission. Although there is no significant difference in terms of complications or recurrence rates for both endoscopic techniques, it seems that stapler patients are at higher risk of having a re-intervention and of having more severe complications.
