Skilbeck CJ, Jeannon JP, O`Connell M, Morgan PR, Simo R. Squamous cell carcinoma of the tonsillar remnant--clinical presentation and oncological outcome. Head Neck Oncol. 2011 Jan 19;3:4.
Conclusions
Clinicians should be aware that SCC can arise from a tonsillar remnant. SCCTR has similar oncological outcomes as tonsillar tumours. (Source: Head and Neck Oncology)

Conclusions
Geriatric oncology assessments signalize age-independent indicators that might guide oncologic geriatric care optimization. Decision-making in geriatric oncology must be based on tumour characteristics and chronological age but also on performance status evaluation, co-morbidity, and patient reported outcomes assessment.

Conclusion
Published scientific data show promising pathways for the future development of more effective prognosis. There is a clear need for new prognostic indicators, which could be used in diagnostics and, therefore a better selection of the most effective treatment can be achieved.

Conclusion
A tongue affected by non-Hodgkin's lymphoma rarely occurs. In spite of this, this possibility should always be considered for the differential diagnosis of benign and malignant lesions affecting such area.
A rapid diagnostic assessment, together with an adequate histopathologic verification, are indeed essential to improve the management and the prognosis of this disease. (Source: Head and Neck Oncology)

Conclusions
Our study contributes to the knowledge of cumulative chemical exposure and p53 aberrations in head and neck cancer, an area where literature is scarce. (Source: Head and Neck Oncology)
