Early detection and treatment are the keys to successful head and neck cancer treatment. Three-quarters of head and neck cancers are detectable during a physical examination. To find the source of the disease, healthcare providers perform a physical exam and order diagnostic tests. During the physical examination, healthcare providers look for any abnormalities in the neck, tongue, throat, or oral cavity. Laboratory tests may also be performed on samples of tissue.

Most types of head and neck cancer originates in flat squamous cells. These cells make up the skin on the surface of the head and neck. Mucosa is the moist tissue in these areas. If cancer is detected in this layer, it is referred to as a carcinoma in situ. If it has spread deeper tissue, it is known as invasive squamous cell carcinoma. Cancers of unknown primary are also rare however, may occur in the head and neck. Head and neck cancer includes many types of throat, larynx, and nose cancer. It may also develop in salivary glands, nose, and sinuses. Treatment options depend on the specific type of head and neck cancer that patients have. Most cancers of the head and neck can be cured if detected early. The most common risk factors are tobacco, alcohol, and the human papillomavirus. 

While the goal of head and neck cancer treatment is to treat the cancer, doctors are also concerned with the quality of life after treatment. While radiation therapy and surgery often result in changes in voice, doctors also focus on the function of the neck and face and helping the patient return to normal activities. This process of rehabilitation is an integral part of the recovery process and the specific goals are determined by the type and extent of the disease. While the surgery will impact a patient's ability to talk, swallow, or chew, these changes will often improve over time. Recently in June 2022, a specialist team of head and neck cancer at the UT Southwestern Medical Center in the U.S. launched a first randomized study of daily adaptive radiation therapy that will use Ethos technology of Varian to treat head and neck cancer in patients.

Bispecific Antibodies Are Used As Therapeutic Drugs While Treating Viral Infections, Oncology, And Auto-Immune Diseases

Image
  Bispecific Antibodies Bispecific antibodies are produced through cell fusion or recombinant DNA technologies. Bispecific antibodies are much more specific than monoclonal antibodies. Their applications in tumor immunotherapy are nearly limitless. As of today, seven bispecific antibodies have been approved by the FDA and EMA and over one hundred are in preclinical testing. Bispecific antibodies were initially developed using the quadroma technology. They contain two distinct antigen-binding arms, which enable them to bind to the target antigen while also activating an effector cell, which kills tumor cells. The primary antigen on the surface of the effector cell is called CD3, which is a popular target of immune cells. According to Coherent Market insights the Bispecific Antibodies Market Global Industry Insights, Trends, Outlook, and Opportunity Analysis, 2022-2028. Many of these multi specific antibody formats have been developed over the past 30 years. These categories ...

Organic Milk Has Much Higher Concentration Of Iron, Vitamin E, And Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids Omega-3 And Omega-6 As Compared To Regular Milk

Image
  Organic Milk Organic Milk is milk made from livestock raised using organic farming practices. The use of the term "organic" is regulated by food authorities in most jurisdictions. Organic cows are not allowed to be given hormones, which stimulate milk production. Organic feed also must be grown without the use of synthetic pesticides. Organic cows must get a certain percentage of their diet from grazing, although most organic dairies supplement the grass with grain. However, organic grazing cows produce less milk than cows that eat a grain-based diet. Buying organic milk may be a better investment for your health. According to Coherent Market Insights the Organic Milk Market Global Industry Insights, Trends, Outlook, and Opportunity Analysis, 2022-2028. The standards for organic milk are stringent. To meet the organic standard, a dairy farm cannot use any form of animal growth hormones or antibiotics. Organic cows must spend at least 30% of their lives on pasture. C...
