RESUMEN

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Currently, most patients with concurrent head and neck cancer (HNC) and carotid stenosis (CS) are treated disjointedly for their oncologic and vascular lesions. The purpose of this review is to evaluate literature exploring a novel approach to these cases that poses several advantages, in which carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is performed simultaneously with surgical resection of HNC. RECENT FINDINGS: Carotid stenosis is a common comorbidity of patients presenting with head and neck cancer as these pathologies have overlapping risk factors. Adjuvant oncologic therapy such as radiation therapy to the site of the lesion is known to increase development or progression of carotid stenosis. Performing simultaneous surgical management of CS and HNC decreases total procedures for the patient, provides a less challenging surgical field, and eliminates prioritization of treatment initiation for one pathology over the other. There has been limited reporting of simultaneous CEA with oncologic resection of HNC in the literature. However, of the 21 cases reviewed here, no perioperative strokes were reported with only one perioperative death from myocardial infarction. SUMMARY: Available literature supports that simultaneous CEA with oncologic resection of HNC is safe and may offer several advantages, although larger studies are required.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: The vestibular schwannoma (VS) secretome can initiate monocyte recruitment and macrophage polarization to M1 (proinflammatory) and/or M2 (protumorigenic) phenotypes, which in turn secrete additional cytokines that contribute to the tumor microenvironment. Profiling cyst fluid and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in cystic VS provides a unique opportunity to understand mechanisms that may contribute to tumor progression and cyst formation. HYPOTHESIS: Cystic VSs secrete high levels of cytokines into cyst fluid and express abundant M1 and M2 macrophages. METHODS: Tumor, CSF, and cyst fluid were prospectively collected from 10 cystic VS patients. Eighty cytokines were measured in fluid samples using cytokine arrays and compared with normal CSF from normal donors. Immunofluorescence was performed for CD80 + M1 and CD163 + M2 macrophage markers. Demographic, audiometric, and radiographic information was obtained through retrospective chart review. RESULTS: Cyst fluid expressed more osteopontin and monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1; p < 0.0001), when compared with normal CSF. Cyst fluid also expressed more protein ( p = 0.0020), particularly MCP-1 ( p < 0.0001), than paired CSF from the same subjects. MCP-1 expression in cyst fluid correlated with CD80 + staining in VS tissue ( r = 0.8852; p = 0.0015) but not CD163 + staining. CONCLUSION: Cyst fluid from cystic VS harbored high levels of osteopontin and MCP-1, which are cytokines important in monocyte recruitment and macrophage polarization. MCP-1 may have a significant role in molding the tumor microenvironment, by polarizing monocytes to CD80 + M1 macrophages in cystic VS. Further investigations into the role of cytokines and macrophages in VS may lead to new avenues for therapeutic intervention.
