Large general hospitals currently play an increasingly important role in the diagnosis and treatment for acute critical patients and difficult diseases because of the development of dual referral system and hierarchical diagnosis, as well as the formation of medical treatment alliance. Patients with oral cancers are often associated with systemic diseases, which increases the complexity of the condition. Thus, meeting the demand through the traditional single medical model is difficult. As such, a multidisciplinary team (MDT) model has been proposed and has achieved a good clinical effect. To standardize the application of this model, we organized an event in which relevant experts discussed and formulated a consensus to provide standardized suggestions on the MDT process and the diagnosis and treatment of common systemic diseases as reference for clinical practice.

Saliva is being attached great importance for its application in illness diagnosis and have more advantage on the diagnose in oral cavity cancer (OCC). Studies have showed that interleukin (IL) in the saliva could be used as a potential biomarker for OCC diagnosis. Moreover, they have a close connection with tumor genesis, invasion, and metastasis in OCC. Therefore, we reviewed research progress on the relationship between salivary interleukins and OCC.

<p><b>BACKGROUND</b>The benefit of neoadjuvant chemotherapy in the management of head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC) still remains controversial. The aim of this meta-analysis is to evaluate the role of the neoadjuvant chemotherapy with the cisplatin and fluororacil (PF) regimen in enhancing the overall survival of and decreasing locoregional relapse and distant metastasis in HNSCC patients.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Medline and manual searches were performed to identify all published randomized controlled trials (RCTs) investigating the efficacy of the neoadjuvant chemotherapy with the PF regimen. Outcomes assessed by meta-analysis included locoregional relapse, distant metastasis, and overall survival. The odds ratio was the principle measurement of effect, which was calculated as the treatment group (chemotherapy plus locoregional treatment) versus the control group (locoregional treatment alone) and was presented as a point estimate with 95% confidence intervals (CI).</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Eight RCTs were adopted for analysis. The meta-analysis showed that the odds ratio for the locoregional relapse was 0.92 (0.70 - 1.22, 95% CI), which was not statistically significant. The odds ratios for distant metastasis and overall survival were 0.47 (0.33 - 0.68, 95% CI) and 1.28 (1.01 - 1.62, 95% CI) respectively, which were both statistically significant.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Neoadjuvant chemotherapy with the PF regimen in HNSCC patients has no effect on locoregional relapse. However, it shows a small but significant benefit in reducing distant metastasis and improving the overall survival.</p>

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the value of microsurgical reconstruction of the tongue after hemiglossectomy with lateral arm free flaps in the treatment of tongue cancer.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>From October 2006 to April 2007, ten patients underwent simultaneous reconstruction of the tongue and oral floor defects with lateral arm free flaps after resection of squamous cell carcinoma of tongue in our hospital. The flaps ranged from 8 cm x 5 cm to 9 cm x 6 cm in size, and were adjusted to the defect of the tongue. The vascular pedicle included the posterior radial collateral artery and the accompanying veins. The outcome of reconstruction was evaluated by follow-up examinations, including the contour and mobility of the reconstructed tongue, the swallowing function and the speech function.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>All patients recovered uneventfully from surgery, without any major postoperative complications. The transplanted flaps survived. During follow-up period the contour of the reconstructed tongues was satisfactory. The patients demonstrated good functional mobility of the reconstructed and remaining tongue. Postoperatively, the swallowing and speech function was nearly at normal levels and the patients could ingest a solid or semisolid diet.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Microvascular reconstruction of the tongue with lateral arm free flaps after hemiglossectomy is an ideal and safe method, but long term results need to be further studied.</p>
