Abstract
Children with asthma and obesity are more likely to have lower vitamin D levels, but the optimal replacement dose is unknown in this population. The objective of this study is identifying a vitamin D dose in children with obesity-related asthma that safely achieves serum vitamin D levels of ≥ 40 ng/mL. This prospective multisite randomized controlled trial recruited children/adolescents with asthma and body mass index ≥ 85% for age/sex. Part 1 (dose finding), evaluated 4 oral vitamin D regimens for 16 weeks to identify a replacement dose that achieved serum vitamin D levels ≥ 40 ng/mL. Part 2 compared the replacement dose calculated from part 1 (50,000 IU loading dose with 8,000 IU daily) to standard of care (SOC) for 16 weeks to identify the proportion of children achieving target serum 25(OH)D level. Part 1 included 48 randomized participants. Part 2 included 64 participants. In Part 1, no SOC participants achieved target serum level, but 50-72.7% of participants in cohorts A-C achieved the target serum level. In part 2, 78.6% of replacement dose participants achieved target serum level compared with none in the SOC arm. No related serious adverse events were reported. This trial confirmed a 50,000 IU loading dose plus 8,000 IU daily oral vitamin D as safe and effective in increasing serum 25(OH)D levels in children/adolescents with overweight/obesity to levels ≥ 40 ng/mL. Given the critical role of vitamin D in many conditions complicating childhood obesity, these data close a critical gap in our understanding of vitamin D dosing in children.

Abstract
Extranodal extension (ENE) is a pattern of cancer growth from within the lymph node (LN) outward into perinodal tissues, critically defined by disruption and penetration of the tumor through the entire thickness of the LN capsule. The presence of ENE is often associated with an aggressive cancer phenotype in various malignancies including head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). In HNSCC, ENE is associated with increased risk of distant metastasis and lower rates of locoregional control. ENE detected on histopathology (pathologic ENE; pENE) is now incorporated as a risk-stratification factor in human papillomavirus (HPV)-negative HNSCC in the eighth edition of the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) and the Union for International Cancer Control (UICC) TNM classification. Although ENE was first described almost a century ago, several issues remain unresolved, including lack of consensus on definitions, terminology, and widely accepted assessment criteria and grading systems for both pENE and ENE detected on radiological imaging (imaging-detected ENE; iENE). Moreover, there is conflicting data on the prognostic significance of iENE and pENE, particularly in the context of HPV-associated HNSCC. Herein, we review the existing literature on ENE in HNSCC, highlighting areas of controversy and identifying critical gaps requiring concerted research efforts.

Abstract
Accurate identification of somatic mutations and allele frequencies in cancer has critical research and clinical applications. Several computational tools have been developed for this purpose but, in the absence of comprehensive 'ground truth' data, assessing the accuracy of these methods is challenging. We created a computational framework to simulate tumour and matched normal sequencing data for which the source of all loci that contain non-reference bases is known, based on a phased, personalized genome. Unlike existing methods, we account for sampling errors inherent in the sequencing process. Using this framework, we assess accuracy and biases in inferred mutations and their frequencies in an established somatic mutation calling pipeline. We demonstrate bias in existing methods of mutant allele frequency estimation and show, for the first time, the observed mutation frequency spectrum corresponding to a theoretical model of tumour evolution. We highlight the impact of quality filters on detection sensitivity of clinically actionable variants and provide definitive assessment of false positive and false negative mutation calls. Our simulation framework provides an improved means to assess the accuracy of somatic mutation calling pipelines and a detailed picture of the effects of technical parameters and experimental factors on somatic mutation calling in cancer samples.

Abstract
Importance While several studies have documented a link between socioeconomic status and survival in head and neck cancer, nearly all have used ecologic, community-based measures. Studies using more granular patient-level data are lacking. Objective To determine the association of baseline annual household income with financial toxicity, health utility, and survival. Design, Setting, and Participants This was a prospective cohort of adult patients with head and neck cancer treated at a tertiary cancer center in Toronto, Ontario, between September 17, 2015, and December 19, 2019. Data analysis was performed from April to December 2021. Exposures Annual household income at time of diagnosis. Main Outcome and Measures The primary outcome of interest was disease-free survival. Secondary outcomes included subjective financial toxicity, measured using the Financial Index of Toxicity (FIT) tool, and health utility, measured using the Health Utilities Index Mark 3. Cox proportional hazards models were used to estimate the association between household income and survival. Income was regressed onto log-transformed FIT scores using linear models. The association between income and health utility was explored using generalized linear models. Generalized estimating equations were used to account for patient-level clustering. Results There were 555 patients (mean [SD] age, 62.7 [10.7] years; 109 [20%] women and 446 [80%] men) included in this cohort. Two-year disease-free survival was worse for patients in the bottom income quartile (<$30 000: 67%; 95% CI, 58%-78%) compared with the top quartile (≥$90 000: 88%; 95% CI, 83%-93%). In risk-adjusted models, patients in the bottom income quartile had inferior disease-free survival (adjusted hazard ratio, 2.13; 95% CI, 1.22-3.71) and overall survival (adjusted hazard ratio, 2.01; 95% CI, 0.94-4.29), when compared with patients in the highest quartile. The average FIT score was 22.6 in the lowest income quartile vs 11.7 in the highest quartile. In adjusted analysis, low-income patients had 12-month FIT scores that were, on average, 134% higher (worse) (95% CI, 16%-253%) than high-income patients. Similarly, health utility scores were, on average, 0.104 points lower (95% CI, 0.026-0.182) for low-income patients in adjusted analysis. Conclusions and Relevance In this cohort study, patients with head and neck cancer with a household income less than CAD$30 000 experienced worse financial toxicity, health status, and disease-free survival. Significant disparities exist for Ontario's patients with head and neck cancer.

Abstract
Despite the significant evolution of radiation therapy (RT) techniques in recent years, many patients with head and neck cancer still experience significant toxicities during and after treatments. The increased soft tissue contrast and functional sequences of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are particularly attractive in head and neck cancer and have led to the increasing development of magnetic resonance-guided RT (MRgRT). This approach refers to the inclusion of the additional information acquired from a diagnostic or planning MRI in radiation treatment planning, and now extends to online high-quality daily imaging generated by the recently developed MR-Linac. MRgRT holds numerous potentials, including enhanced baseline and planning evaluations, anatomical and functional treatment adaptation, potential for hypofractionation, and multiparametric assessment of response. This article offers a structured review of the current literature on these established and upcoming roles of MRI for patients with head and neck cancer undergoing RT.

Abstract
PURPOSE Radiomics is an emerging imaging assessment technique that has shown promise in predicting survival among nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) patients. Studies so far have focused on PET or MR-based radiomics independently. The aim of our study was to evaluate the prognostic value of clinical and radiomic parameters derived from both PET/CT and MR. METHODS Retrospective evaluation of 124 NPC patients with PET/CT and radiotherapy planning MR (RP-MR). Primary tumors were segmented using dedicated software (LIFEx version 6.1) from PET, CT, contrast-enhanced T1-weighted (T1-w), and T2-weighted (T2-w) MR sequences with 376 radiomic features extracted. Summary statistics describe patient, disease, and treatment characteristics. The Kaplan-Meier (KM) method estimates overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS). Clinical factors selected based on univariable analysis and the multivariable Cox model were subsequently constructed with radiomic features added. RESULTS The final models comparing clinical, clinical + RP-MR, clinical + PET/CT and clinical + RP-MR + PET/CT for OS and PFS demonstrated that combined radiomic signatures were significantly associated with improved survival prognostication (AUC 0.62 vs 0.81 vs 0.75 vs 0.86 at 21 months for PFS and 0.56 vs 0.85 vs 0.79 vs 0.96 at 24 months for OS). Clinical + RP-MR features initially outperform clinical + PET/CT for both OS and PFS (<18 months), and later in the clinical course for PFS (>42 months). CONCLUSION Our study demonstrated that PET/CT-based radiomic features may improve survival prognostication among NPC patients when combined with baseline clinical and MR-based radiomic features.

Abstract
Simple Summary Oligometastasis represents a disease state and an opportunity for cure when metastases emerge. Emerging evidence supports that most head and neck cancer patients with oligometastatic disease are likely to benefit from curative intent local ablative therapy if appropriate selection criteria are applied. Biomarkers to predict development of oligometastasis, as well as to identify which patients could benefit from a radical intent approach, are under investigation. This review summarizes recent knowledge about the characteristics, investigational efforts, and evidence for local ablation regarding oligometastasis in head and neck cancer. We also describe the challenges and opportunities in patient selection and discuss the role of radiotherapy and immunotherapy combinations to enhance anti-tumor immunity. Abstract A minority of patients with metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) present with oligometastatic disease. Oligometastasis not only reflects a disease state, but might also present an opportunity for cure in the metastatic setting. Radical ablation of all oligometastatic sites may confer prolonged survival and possibly achieve cure in some patients. However, substantial debate remains about whether patients with oligometastatic disease could benefit from curative intent therapy or whether aggressive treatments expose some patients to futile toxicity. Optimal selection of patients, carefully balancing the currently known prognostic factors against the risks of toxicity is critical. Emerging evidence suggests that patients with a limited burden of disease, viral-related pharyngeal cancer, metachronous metastasis and lung-only metastasis may benefit most from this approach. Efforts are underway to identify biomarkers that can detect oligometastasis and better select patients who would derive the maximum benefit from an aggressive radical approach. The combination of radiotherapy and immunotherapy promises to enhance the anti-tumoral immune response and help overcome resistance. However, optimization of management algorithms, including patient selection, radiation dose and sequencing, will be critical in upcoming clinical trials. This review summarizes recent knowledge about the characteristics and investigational efforts regarding oligometastasis in HNSCC.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE Patient-derived xenografts (PDXs) offer the opportunity to identify patients with oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) who are at risk for recurrence and optimize clinical decision-making. OBJECTIVE To develop and validate a prediction score for locoregional failure (LRF) and distant metastases (DM) in OSCC that incorporates PDX engraftment in addition to known clinicopathological risk factors. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS In this retrospective cohort study, PDX models were generated from patients with OSCC treated with curative intent at Princess Margaret Cancer Centre (Toronto, Canada) between 2006 and 2018. The cohort included 288 patients (aged ≥18 years) with a new diagnosis of nonmetastatic (M0) OSCC whose tumor samples were available for engraftment under the skin of xenograft mice. Patients were scored as a nonengrafter if PDX formation did not occur within 6 months. Data analysis was performed between August 2006 and May 2018. INTERVENTIONS All patients received up-front curative-intent surgery followed by either observation or postoperative radiation with or without concurrent chemotherapy based on institutional guidelines. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES Main outcomes were LRF, DM, and overall survival (OS). Multivariable analysis (MVA) was used to identify predictors of LRF and DM. Factors retained in the final MVA were used to construct a prediction score and classify patients into risk groups. RESULTS Overall, 288 patients (mean [SD] age at diagnosis, 63.3 [12.3] years; 112 [39%] women and 176 [61%] men) with OSCC were analyzed. The MVA identified pT3-4, pathologic extranodal extension, and engraftment as predictors of LRF and DM. Patients whose tumors engrafted (n = 198) were more likely to develop LRF (hazard ratio [HR], 1.98; 95% CI, 1.24-3.18) and DM (HR, 2.64; 95% CI, 1.21-5.75) compared with nonengrafters. A prediction score based on the aforementioned variables identified patients at high risk and low risk for LRF (43.5% vs 26.5%), DM (38.2% vs 8.4%), and inferior OS (34% vs 66%) at 5 years. Additionally, rapid engraftment was shown to be similarly prognostic, with rapid engrafters demonstrating higher rates of relapse and poor OS. CONCLUSIONS In this cohort study, a prediction score using OSCC PDX engraftment, in conjunction with pT3-4 and pathologic extranodal extension, was associated with improved prognostic utility of existing clinical models and predicted patients at risk for LRF, DM, and poor survival.

Abstract
Abstract
Aim
Many neonatal surgical patients require intravenous (IV) access for >1 week. Technical, organisational, and cultural factors reduced placement of peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs). Most babies requiring parenteral nutrition/central medications undergo central venous line placement under general anaesthetic (GA). Repeated bedside cannulation causes distress to patients and parents, with workload burden resulting in extravasation injuries. We aim to reduce these factors by increasing PICC usage in a ward setting.
Method
We followed a Plan, Do, Study, Act cycle over 4 months.
Results
Final results pending. The intervention has occurred, in 1 month we will re-measure:
We will measure risks of increasing PICC placement (through an iterative process), including:
Conclusions
The initial message yielded perceptions that ‘the department is doing things wrong’. The message of PICCs adding an ‘extra string to our bow’ was clearer, non-judgemental and with strong rationale for change.
Training non-rotating staff promotes sustainability but required senior clinician agreement to procure equipment, delaying our timeline – target completion is in 1 month.

Abstract
Abstract
This commentary highlights three important findings in the study by Vijayvargiya et al, published in this journal, involving 9554 oropharyngeal cancer patients from the SEER database. Firstly, there is improved performance in outcome prediction with TNM-8 in HPV+ OPC. However, heterogeneity exists, especially in TNM-8 stage I disease, and there is need for ongoing improvement in risk stratification. Several anatomical and non-anatomical prognostic factors have been proposed. Among them, radiologic extranodal extension has emerged as one of the promising parameters to be considered for future staging. These baseline prognostic factors should address sensitivity, specificity, and diagnostic accuracy to serve different clinical needs. Secondly, cure is possible for some patients presenting with M1 disease. Optimal management of such patients remains to be explored, and clinical trials targeting de novo M1 disease should be encouraged to optimize outcomes for this subset. Finally, methodologies to address missing tumor HPV status in historical cohorts have been discussed, including using baseline demographics and clinical characteristics, as well as statistical procedures such as multiple imputation.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most diagnosed malignancy in the Western world. Routine staging of CRC often identifies incidental lesions on cross-sectional imaging. Appropriate treatment is dependent on a correct histological diagnosis. Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a rarer and often devastating diagnosis for which the treatment pathway differs significantly to CRC. We report two rare cases: the first recorded case of PDAC with synchronous rectal metastasis and a case of an acute presentation with large bowel obstruction from synchronous colonic metastasis. Both cases presented a significant diagnostic challenge. The management of both cases would have been altered had the histological diagnosis been known prior to surgery. Clinicians treating CRC should be wary of incidental lesions on staging investigations as they rarely represent an occult extra-intestinal primary malignancy. Immunohistochemistry plays an important role in ascertaining the origin of gastrointestinal malignancy.

Abstract
Introduction: Papillary Thyroid cancer (PTC) is the most common malignancy encountered by endocrine surgeons accounting for up to 85% to 90% of all thyroid malignancies. Parathyroid metastases appear to be an uncommon phenomenon however are likely to be underdiagnosed due to routine parathyroid gland preservation during thyroidectomy. Case: We present the case of 63-year-old lady with PTC metastases to the parathyroid gland. She underwent total thyroidectomy, central compartment lymph node dissection and selective left neck (levels IIA-IV) lymph node dissection. Final pathology confirmed a 45 mm low grade conventional type papillary carcinoma with microscopic extension into perithyroidal soft tissue focally and into the adjacent left parathyroid gland. Conclusion: Parathyroid gland thyroid cancer infiltration/metastasis is rarely reported and likely underdiagnosed. This is the first case of parathyroid gland metastasis reported from New Zealand or Australia to our knowledge. There is currently limited research available to guide whether parathyroid gland infiltration or metastasis is of clinical or prognostic significance and whether a more aggressive treatment strategy is warranted when present.

Abstract
Prognostic factors have important utility in various aspects of cancer surveillance, including research, patient care, and cancer control programmes. Nevertheless, there is heterogeneity in the collection of prognostic factors and outcomes data globally. This study aimed to investigate perspectives on the utility and application of prognostic factors and clinical outcomes in cancer control programmes. A qualitative phenomenology approach using expert interviews was taken to derive a rich description of the current state and future outlook of cancer prognostic factors and clinical outcomes. Individuals with expertise in this work and from various regions and institutions were invited to take part in one-on-one semi-structured interviews. Four areas related to infrastructure and funding challenges were identified by participants, including (1) data collection and access; (2) variability in data reporting, coding, and definitions; (3) limited coordination among databases; and (4) conceptualization and prioritization of meaningful prognostic factors and outcomes. Two areas were identified regarding important future priorities for cancer control: (1) global investment and intention in cancer surveillance and (2) data governance and exchange globally. Participants emphasized the need for better global collection of prognostic factors and clinical outcomes data and support for standardized data collection and data exchange practices by cancer registries.

Abstract
Simple Summary Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is the most common mucosal malignancy of the head and neck and a leading cause of cancer death. HNSCC arises from different primary anatomical locations that are typically combined during radiomic analyses assuming that the radiomic features, i.e., quantitative image-based features, are similar based on histopathologic characteristics. However, whether these quantitative features are comparable across tumor sites remains unknown. The aim of our retrospective study was to assess if systematic differences exist between radiomic features based on different tumor sites in HNSCC and how they might affect machine learning model performance in endpoint prediction. Using a population of 605 HNSCC patients, we observed significant differences in radiomic features of tumors from different locations and showed that these differences can impact machine learning model performance. This suggests that tumor site should be considered when developing and evaluating radiomics-based models. Abstract Current radiomic studies of head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC) are typically based on datasets combining tumors from different locations, assuming that the radiomic features are similar based on histopathologic characteristics. However, molecular pathogenesis and treatment in HNSCC substantially vary across different tumor sites. It is not known if a statistical difference exists between radiomic features from different tumor sites and how they affect machine learning model performance in endpoint prediction. To answer these questions, we extracted radiomic features from contrast-enhanced neck computed tomography scans (CTs) of 605 patients with HNSCC originating from the oral cavity, oropharynx, and hypopharynx/larynx. The difference in radiomic features of tumors from these sites was assessed using statistical analyses and Random Forest classifiers on the radiomic features with 10-fold cross-validation to predict tumor sites, nodal metastasis, and HPV status. We found statistically significant differences (p-value ≤ 0.05) between the radiomic features of HNSCC depending on tumor location. We also observed that differences in quantitative features among HNSCC from different locations impact the performance of machine learning models. This suggests that radiomic features may reveal biologic heterogeneity complementary to current gold standard histopathologic evaluation. We recommend considering tumor site in radiomic studies of HNSCC.

Abstract
Abstract
Purpose: The aims of this meta-analysis are to evaluate the diagnostic performance and to explore the optimal timing of post-treatment 18F-FDG PET/CT for HNSCC.
Methods: January 2010 to August 2016 was the range for study selection. Subgroup analyses were performed for local/regional failure stratified by treatment-to-scan time interval of ≤3 vs. >3 months.
Results: Twenty-four studies (2,256 patients) were included. Compared to ≤3 months, 18F-FDG PET/CT performed >3 months showed significantly improved sensitivity (87% vs. 60%, p=0.020) and specificity (93% vs. 84%, p<0.001) for identifying local failure and marginally improved sensitivity for regional failure (79% vs. 56%, p=0.100). The specificity for regional failure was equally high for >3 months vs. ≤3 months (95% vs. 97%, p=0.35).
Conclusions: This meta-analysis showed high NPV but modest PPV for post-treatment 18F-FDG PET/CT for local and regional failure. Sensitivity is improved if performed >3 months for local failure and marginally improved for regional failure.

Abstract
Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a type of head and neck cancer with a distinctive regional and racial prevalence. It is associated with Epstein-Barr virus infection and has a high propensity for regional and distant metastases, while it is very sensitive to radiation and chemotherapy. A common feature of Epstein-Barr virus-positive NPC is the dense infiltration of lymphocytes in the tumor stroma and positive programmed death-ligand 1 expression in tumor cells, making it an attractive target for immunotherapy, especially immune checkpoint inhibitors. As new immunotherapeutic agents are being rapidly adopted in many cancers, including head and neck cancer, the National Cancer Institute sponsored a clinical trial planning meeting to identify opportunities for developing phase II and III trials testing immunotherapy in different stages of NPC. The meeting started with the summary of the biology of the disease, current standards of care, and evidence of immunotherapy in this cancer. Three subcommittees were tasked to develop clinical trials: loco regionally advanced, nonmetastatic NPC; widely metastatic NPC; and either local recurrence after initial treatment or presenting with oligometastatic disease. This article summarizes the proceedings of this clinical trial planning meeting and provides a road map for future trials incorporating immune checkpoint inhibitors for therapeutic management of NPC. This road map, though specific for NPC, may also be applicable to other virally driven cancers that have similar ability to evade the host's immune system.

Abstract
Recent advances have permitted successful therapeutic targeting of the immune system in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). These new immunotherapeutic targets and agents are being rapidly adopted by the oncologic community and hold considerable promise. The National Cancer Institute sponsored a Clinical Trials Planning Meeting to address the issue of how to further investigate the use of immunotherapy in patients with HNSCC. The goals of the meeting were to consider phase 2 or 3 trial designs primarily in 3 different patient populations: those with previously untreated, human papillomavirus-initiated oropharyngeal cancers; those with previously untreated, human papillomavirus-negative HNSCC; and those with recurrent/metastatic HNSCC. In addition, a separate committee was formed to develop integrative biomarkers for the clinical trials. The meeting started with an overview of key immune components and principles related to HNSCC, including immunosurveillance and immune escape. Four clinical trial concepts were developed at the meeting integrating different immunotherapies with existing standards of care. These designs were presented for implementation by the head and neck committees of the National Cancer Institute-funded National Clinical Trials Network. This article summarizes the proceedings of this Clinical Trials Planning Meeting, the purpose of which was to facilitate the rigorous development and design of randomized phase 2 and 3 immunotherapeutic trials in patients with HNSCC. Although reviews usually are published immediately after the meeting is held, this report is unique because there are now tangible clinical trial designs that have been funded and put into practice and the studies are being activated to accrual.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Despite the increasing incidence of human papillomavirus (HPV)-associated oropharyngeal cancer (OPC) in the Western World, there are little data describing the change in HPV incidence within Ontario, Canada. We therefore assessed HPV-positivity in a retrospective study of 612 OPC patient samples.
Methods: Diagnostic formalin-fixed and paraffin embedded OPC patient samples belonging to two cohorts were retrieved from institutions across Ontario, Canada over two time periods: 1998-1999 (n = 245) and 2003-2004 (n = 367). In all samples, HPV status was assessed initially using p16 immunohistochemistry (IHC). For p16 negative and equivocal staining samples, HPV in situ hybridization (ISH; using an HPV subtype 16/18 probe) was performed as the final indicator for HPV positivity. HPV-positivity rate was then compared over time and geographic region.
Results: Overall, p16-positivity was observed in 52.3% (320 of 612) of the OPC patients. For the p16-negative (n = 246) and p16-equivocal (n = 46) samples, 25.3% (n = 74) were positive by HPV16/18 ISH. The HPV infection incidence for the 1998-1999 cohort was 54.3% (133 of 245 samples; 95% CI: 53.9(47.4-60.2)). The HPV infection incidence increased significantly in the 2003-2004 cohort to 71.1% (261 of 367 samples; 95% CI: 71.4(66.5-76.0)) (p<0.0001). When divided based on geographical region, HPV incidence also increased significantly over time (Northern Ontario by 49%, p = 0.04; Eastern Ontario by 23%, p = 0.009; Southern Ontario by 17%, p = 0.009; Central Ontario by 12%, p = 0.05). There were no significant differences between urban and rural areas over the two cohort periods (urban p = 0.8; rural, p = 0.6).
Conclusions: HPV-associated OPC increased in incidence in Ontario, Canada, over a 6-year period from 1998 to 2004, which appeared to be applicable across the entire province, regardless of urban or rural regions. A composite HPV detection method using p16 in combination with HPV ISH identified an additional 25% of HPV-positive OPC cases.

Abstract
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES Hyperpolarized (HP) gas magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an advanced imaging technique that provides high-resolution regional information on lung function without using ionizing radiation. Before this modality can be considered for assessing clinical or investigational interventions, baseline repeatability needs to be established. We assessed repeatability of lung function measurement using HP helium-3 MRI (HP (3)He MRI) in a small cohort of patients with cystic fibrosis (CF). MATERIALS AND METHODS We examined repeatability of HP (3)He MR images of five patients with CF in four scanning sessions over a 4-week period. We acquired images on a Philips 3.0 Tesla Achieva MRI scanner using a quadrature, flexible, wrap-around, (3)He radiofrequency coil with a fast gradient-echo pulse sequence. We determined ventilation volume and ventilation defect volume using an advanced semiautomatic segmentation algorithm and also quantified ventilation heterogeneity. RESULTS There were no significant differences in total ventilation volume, ventilation defect volume, ventilation defect percentage, or mean ventilation heterogeneity (repeated-measures analysis of variance, P = .2116, P = .2825, P = .2871, and P = .7265, respectively) in the patients across the four scanning sessions. CONCLUSIONS Our results indicate that total ventilation volume, ventilation defect volume, ventilation defect percentage, and mean ventilation heterogeneity as assessed by HP gas MRI in CF patients with stable health are reproducible over time. This repeatability and the technique's capability to provide noninvasive high-resolution data on regional lung function without ionizing radiation make (3)He MRI a potentially useful outcome measure for CF-related clinical trials.

Abstract
Program Description: Transoral robotic surgery (TORS) has become a popular approach for management of oropharyngeal carcinoma. The miniseminar will be organized as a tumor board panel staffed with a head and neck surgeon, radiation oncologist, medical oncologist, and pathologist. Two cases will be presented to highlight 3 controversial topics: (1) What are acceptable surgical margins and does human papillomavirus (HPV) status affect margin status? (2) Following TORS with negative margins, does the primary site require radiotherapy and does HPV status affect that decision? (3) How do “poor prognostic factors” affect decisions regarding adjuvant therapy, radiation dose, and treatment fields? Educational Objectives: (1) Differentiate the pathologic characters of HPV-positive and HPV-negative tumors and demonstrate how this finding affects treatment margins. (2) Explain the indication for treating the primary site after TORS resection. (3) Recognize impact of poor prognostic factors of adjuvant therapy decisions, including treatment dose.
