“…It is still not clear, how wide the distance between surgical margin and tumor should be. It is crucial to obtain adequate surgical margins of the tumor, however, the surgeon must find a balance between the radicality of the operation and the effort to preserve the function of the orofacial system and thus the quality of life and limit the cosmetic disability [3,[50][51][52][53][54][55][56]. Many scientific publications deal with the problem of positive resection margins, unfortunately there are currently no globally valid guidelines.…”

The influence of preoperative examination of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) mucosal surrounding by VELscope (Visually Enhanced Lesion Scope) on the radicality of surgical treatment of OSCC was the goal of this study.It is the first analysis of its kind with a total number of 122 patients suffering from OSCC with homogenous distribution of different tumor stages randomized into a study and a control group and enrolled in our study after meeting the inclusion criteria. The preoperative checkup by VELscope accompanied by the marking of the range of a loss of fluorescence in the study group was performed before the surgery. We have developed a unique mucosal tattoo marking technique for this purpose. The pathohistological results after surgical treatment, i.e. the margin status, were then compared. We achieved the pathological free margin (pFM) in 55 patients, the pathological close margin (pCM) in 6 cases and we encountered no case of the pathological positive margin (pPM) in the mucosal layer in the study group. In comparison, the control group results revealed pPM in 7 cases, pCM in 14 cases and pFM in 40 of all cases in the mucosal layer. This study proved that the preoperative autofluorescence evaluation of a tumor mucosal surrounding can enhance the ability to reach the pFM resection.

It is crucial to obtain adequate surgical margins around the tumor, however, the surgeon must find a balance between the radicality of the operation and efforts to preserve the function of the orofacial system; they must preserve quality of life and limit cosmetic disability [3,[51][52][53][54][55][56][57].

In our study, the effect of the use of autofluorescence (Visually Enhanced Lesion Scope—VELscope) on increasing the success rate of surgical treatment in oral squamous carcinoma (OSCC) was investigated. Our hypothesis was tested on a group of 122 patients suffering from OSCC, randomized into a study and a control group enrolled in our study after meeting the inclusion criteria. The preoperative checkup via VELscope, accompanied by the marking of the range of a loss of fluorescence in the study group, was performed before the surgery. We developed a unique mucosal tattoo marking technique for this purpose. The histopathological results after surgical treatment, i.e., the margin status, were then compared. In the study group, we achieved pathological free margin (pFM) in 55 patients, pathological close margin (pCM) in 6 cases, and we encountered no cases of pathological positive margin (pPM) in the mucosal layer. In comparison, the control group results revealed pPM in 7 cases, pCM in 14 cases, and pFM in 40 of all cases in the mucosal layer. This study demonstrated that preoperative autofluorescence assessment of the mucosal surroundings of OSCC increased the ability to achieve pFM resection 4.8 times in terms of lateral margins.

Dysphagia is a major head and neck cancer (HNC) issue. Dysphagia‐related patient‐reported outcome measures (PROMs) are critical for patient‐centred assessment and intervention tailoring. This systematic review aimed to derive a comprehensive inventory of HNC dysphagia PROMs and appraise their content validity and internal structure. Six electronic databases were searched to February 2023 for studies detailing PROM content validity or internal structure. Eligible PROMs were those developed or validated for HNC, with ≥20% of items related to swallowing. Two independent raters screened citations and full‐text articles. Critical appraisal followed COSMIN guidelines. Overall, 114 studies were included, yielding 39 PROMs (17 dysphagia‐specific and 22 generic). Of included studies, 33 addressed PROM content validity and 78 internal structure. Of all PROMs, only the SOAL met COSMIN standards for both sufficient content validity and internal structure. Notably, the development of 18 PROMs predated the publication of COSMIN standards. In conclusion, this review identified 39 PROMs addressing dysphagia in HNC, of which only one met COSMIN quality criteria. Given that half of PROMs were developed prior to COSMIN guidelines, future application of current standards is needed to establish their psychometric quality.
