Προγνωστικοί και προβλεπτικοί παράγοντες στον καρκίνο του λάρυγγα

Σκοπός της παρούσας εργασίας είναι η παρουσίαση των σημαντικότερων προγνωστικών και προβλεπτικών παραγόντων στον καρκίνο του λάρυγγα. Για το λόγο αυτό, πραγματοποιήθηκε εκτεταμένη αναζήτηση στη βάση δεδομένων PubMed καθώς και σε εγχειρίδια ωτορινολαρυγγολογίας, ογκολογίας και σχετικών κατευθυντήριων οδηγιών. Μετά από μια σύντομη ιστορική αναδρομή, περιγράφεται η ανατομία και φυσιολογία του λάρυγγα. Ακολούθως, πραγματοποιείται η παρουσίαση των βασικών αρχών και κατευθυντήριων οδηγιών διάγνωσης και θεραπείας του λαρυγγικού καρκίνου, της επιδημιολογίας, της ιστοπαθολογίας καθώς και της σταδιοποίησής του, που εξακολουθεί να αποτελεί το σημαντικότερο προγνωστικό παράγοντα για τη νόσο. Γίνεται μια σύντομη αναφορά στη μοριακή βιολογία της νόσου και τέλος, γίνεται αναλυτική παρουσίαση των προγνωστικών και προβλεπτικών παραγόντων στον καρκίνο του λάρυγγα, με βάση τη διαίρεση σε σχετιζόμενους με τον ασθενή, σχετιζόμενους με τη νόσο, σχετιζόμενους με το περιβάλλον και νέους. Έμφαση δίνεται στους νέους μοριακούς δείκτες, που σε μεγάλο βαθμό βρίσκονται ακόμη υπό διερεύνηση.The purpose of this paper is to present the most important prognostic and predictive factors in laryngeal cancer. For this reason, an extensive search was made in the PubMed database and related guidelines as well as in otorhinolaryngology and oncology textbooks. After a brief historical review, the anatomy and physiology of the larynx are described. Subsequently, basic principles and guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of laryngeal cancer, its epidemiology, histopathology and staging -which remains the most important prognostic factor for the disease-, are presented. A short reference is made to the molecular biology of the disease and, finally, an analytical presentation of prognostic and predictive factors in laryngeal cancer, based on their division into patient-related, disease-related, environment-related and new/promising. Emphasis is placed onto new molecular markers, which are still largely under investigation

International consensus statement on allergy and rhinology: Sinonasal tumors

BACKGROUND: Sinonasal neoplasms, whether benign and malignant, pose a significant challenge to clinicians and represents a model area for multidisciplinary collaboration in order to optimize patient care. The International Consensus Statement on Allergy and Rhinology: Sinonasal Tumors (ICSNT) aims to summarize the best available evidence and presents 48 thematic and histopathology-based topics spanning the field. METHODS: In accordance with prior ICAR documents, ICSNT assigned each topic as an Evidence-Based Review with Recommendations, Evidence-Based Review, and Literature Review based on level of evidence. An international group of multidisciplinary author teams were assembled for the topic reviews using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses format, and completed sections underwent a thorough and iterative consensus-building process. The final document underwent rigorous synthesis and review prior to publication. RESULTS: The ICNST document consists of 4 major sections: general principles, benign neoplasms and lesions, malignant neoplasms, and quality of life and surveillance. It covers 48 conceptual and/or histopathology-based topics relevant to sinonasal neoplasms and masses. Topics with a high level of evidence provided specific recommendations, while other areas summarized the current state of evidence. A final section highlights research opportunities and future directions, contributing to advancing knowledge and community intervention. CONCLUSION: As an embodiment of the multidisciplinary and collaborative model of care in sinonasal neoplasms and masses, ICSNT was designed as a comprehensive, international, and multidisciplinary collaborative endeavor. Its primary objective is to summarize the existing evidence in the field of sinonasal neoplasms and masses
