Abstract
The role of palliative surgery for excision of metastasis in a patient with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is limited. However, judicious patient selection can yield noteworthy long-term survival outcomes. We report a case of the occurrence of isolated lung metastasis and its management in a NPC survivor with a long disease-free interval. The patient underwent radiotherapy and chemotherapy in 2014 for primary NPC cT2N1M0. In November 2019, he presented with a cough and respiratory distress. The investigation unveiled an isolated lung metastasis that partially encased the left upper lobe bronchus and closely abutted the left main bronchus and left pulmonary artery. Following comprehensive multidisciplinary consultations involving the patient and relatives, the patient underwent a left pneumonectomy as an imperative palliative intervention to alleviate the symptomatic respiratory distress and long-term disease control. Remarkably, the patient's disease-free status has persisted post surgery until 2024, evoking consideration of a potential curative trajectory. This case emphasises comprehensive evaluations, multidisciplinary discussions, and individualised treatment plans. It encourages patients to remain optimistic and engaged in their healthcare journey.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We aimed to identify predictors of distant metastatic recurrence (DMR) in patients with head and neck cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (HNcSCC) with nodal metastases treated with curative intent. METHODS Predictors of DMR were identified using Cox regression in a multicenter study of 1151 patients. RESULTS The 5-year risk of DMR was 9.6%. On multivariate analysis, immunosuppression (HR 2.93; 95% CI: 1.70-5.05; p < 0.001), nodal size >6 cm [versus ≤3 cm (HR 2.77; 95% CI: 1.09-7.03; p = 0.032)], ≥5 nodal metastases [versus 1-2 (HR 2.79; 95% CI: 1.63-4.78; p < 0.001)], and bilateral disease (HR 3.11; 95% CI: 1.40-6.90; p = 0.005) predicted DMR. A DMR risk score was developed that stratified risk from 6.6% (no risk factors) to 100% (≥3 risk factors) (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS The risk of DMR in nodal metastatic HNcSCC increases with immunosuppression, nodal size >6 cm, ≥5 nodal metastases, and bilateral disease. A simple DMR risk score estimated prior to treatment may be clinically useful.

Abstract
High rates of recurrence and distant metastasis are a foremost challenge in the management of adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC), occurring in approximately 40% of all ACC patients. Despite the morbidity and mortality resulting from recurrent/metastatic (R/M) disease, there are no FDA-approved systemic agents for these patients. In this review, we summarize pertinent ACC pathophysiology and its implications for different systemic treatment regimens in R/M ACC. We review the evidence for the most widely used systemic agents - cytotoxic chemotherapy and tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) targeting VEGFR - in addition to immune checkpoint inhibitors and non-TKI biologic agents. Exciting emerging targets for R/M ACC, including inhibitors of Notch signaling, stemness, PRMT5, and Axl, are also discussed. Lastly, we review local therapies for small-volume lung disease in patients with oligometastatic ACC, specifically pulmonary metastasectomy and stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT). Future development of targeted molecular agents which exploit the underlying biology of this disease may yield novel therapeutic options to improve clinical outcomes in patients with R/M ACC.

Abstract
Pulmonary metastasectomy (PM) is an established treatment that can provide improved long-term survival for patients with metastatic tumor(s) in the lung. In the current era, where treatment options other than PM such as stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT), immunotherapy, and molecular-targeted therapy are available, thoracic surgeons should review the approach to the preoperative evaluation and the indications. Preoperative evaluation consists of history and physical examinations, physiological tests, and radiological examinations. Radiological examinations serve to identify the differential diagnosis of the pulmonary nodules, evaluate their precise number, location, and features, and search for extra thoracic metastases. The indication of PM should be considered from both physiological and oncological points of view. The general criteria for PM are as follows; (I) the patient has a good general condition, (II) the primary malignancy is controlled, (III) there is no other extrapulmonary metastases, and (IV) the pulmonary lesion(s) are thought to be completely resectable. In addition to the general eligibility criteria of PM, prognostic factors of each tumor type should be considered when deciding the indication for PM. When patients have multiple poor prognostic factors and/or a short disease-free interval (DFI), thoracic surgeons should not hesitate to observe the patient for a certain period before deciding on the indication for PM. A multidisciplinary discussion is needed in order to decide the indication for PM.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The role of locoregional radiotherapy for metastatic oropharyngeal squamous cell cancer (OPSCC) is unclear. We investigated the impact of head and neck radiotherapy on survival in de novo metastatic OPSCC patients who received systemic therapy. METHODS We queried the NCDB from 2004-2015 for metastatic OPSCC patients at diagnosis with known HPV-status who received systemic therapy. The association of head and neck radiotherapy with overall survival was analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method, Cox proportional hazards model, and propensity score-matched analysis adjusting for demographic and disease-specific prognostic factors. RESULTS Of the 2,139 patients with metastatic OPSCC who presented with metastases and received systemic treatment, we identified 556 patients with known HPV-status. Among these 556 patients, 49% were HPV-positive and 56% received head and neck radiotherapy. With a median follow-up of 17.5 months (IQR 6.0-163.4 months), radiotherapy was associated with significantly improved 1-year OS (67% vs 58%, log-rank P < .001) which remained significant on MVA (HR 0.78 95% CI 0.62-0.97 P = .029). In HPV-status subgroup analysis, a survival benefit was identified in HPV-positive patients (1-year OS 77% vs 67%, log-rank P < .001) but not in HPV-negative patients. Results were consistent on a propensity score-matched analysis of 212 HPV-positive matched patients (HR 0.66, 95% CI 0.49-0.83, P < .001). CONCLUSION The survival of metastatic OPSCC remains limited. In this large series of patients with known HPV-status, head and neck radiotherapy was associated with longer survival in those with HPV-associated disease. These data could guide management of this challenging group of patients for head and neck cancer practitioners. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE 3 Laryngoscope, 131:E1847-E1853, 2021.

Abstract
The head and neck district represents one of the most frequent sites of cancer, and the percentage of metastases is very high in both loco-regional and distant areas. Prognosis refers to several factors: a) stage of disease; b) loco-regional relapses; c) distant metastasis. At diagnosis, distant metastases of head and neck cancers are present in about 10% of cases with an additional 20-30% developing metastases during the course of their disease. Diagnosis of distant metastases is associated with unfavorable prognosis, with a median survival of about 10 months. The aim of the present review is to provide an update on distant metastasis in head and neck oncology. Recent achievements in molecular profiling, interaction between neoplastic tissue and the tumor microenvironment, oligometastatic disease concepts, and the role of immunotherapy have all deeply changed the therapeutic approach and disease control. Firstly, we approach topics such as natural history, epidemiology of distant metastases and relevant pathological and radiological aspects. Focus is then placed on the most relevant clinical aspects; particular attention is reserved to tumours with distant metastasis and positive for EBV and HPV, and the oligometastatic concept. A substantial part of the review is dedicated to different therapeutic approaches. We highlight the role of immunotherapy and the potential effects of innovative technologies. Lastly, we present ethical and clinical perspectives related to frailty in oncological patients and emerging difficulties in sustainable socio-economical governance.

Abstract
Importance Even though 15% to 50% of patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) experience recurrence, relatively little is known regarding patterns of treatment failure and postrecurrence outcomes after chemoradiotherapy using modern radiation techniques (intensity-modulated radiotherapy [IMRT]). Recurrence patterns are significantly affected by variations in the quality of radiotherapy, which may confound findings from multicenter trials. Objective To assess patterns of treatment failure and postrecurrence outcomes for patients with HNSCC treated with contemporary radiotherapy techniques. Design, Setting, and Participants This large single-institution cohort study reviewed the outcomes of 1000 consecutive patients with stage III to IVB oropharyngeal carcinoma (n = 703), laryngeal carcinoma (n = 126), or hypopharyngeal carcinoma (n = 46) treated with definitive IMRT with or without concurrent chemotherapy, as well as patients with oral cavity carcinoma (n = 125) treated with postoperative IMRT with or without concurrent systemic therapy, from December 1, 2001, to December 31, 2013, with a median follow-up of 65.1 months among surviving patients. Data analysis was performed from January 31, 2016, to February 17, 2017. Main Outcomes and Measures Patterns of treatment failure and overall survival following locoregional failure or distant metastasis. Results Among the 1000 patients (186 women and 814 men; mean [SD] age, 59.3 [10.8] years), there were no marginal or isolated out-of-radiation-field failures. Among subsites, the cumulative incidence of local failure was highest among patients with oral cavity carcinoma vs those with oropharyngeal carcinoma (hazard ratio, 5.2; 95% CI, 3.1-8.6; P < .001). Furthermore, patients with oral cavity carcinoma experienced significantly shorter survival following distant metastasis (hazard ratio, 3.66; 95% CI, 1.98-6.80; P < .001). Patients with oropharyngeal carcinoma positive for human papillomavirus or p16 lived longer after locoregional failure compared with patents with oropharyngeal carcinoma negative for human papillomavirus or p16 (median survival, 36.5 vs 13.6 months; P = .007) but not after distant metastasis. Salvage surgery was associated with improved overall survival following locoregional failure (hazard ratio, 0.51; 95% CI, 0.34-0.77; P = .001); oligometastatic disease (1 vs ≥2 lesions: hazard ratio, 0.32; 95% CI, 0.16-0.63; P = .001) was associated with improved overall survival following distant metastasis. Conclusions and Relevance Overall survival after recurrence of HNSCC is influenced by the HNSCC subsite and human papillomavirus or p16 status, as well surgical and systemic interventions. An oligometastatic phenotype characterizes patients with solitary metastasis after chemoradiotherapy. These findings have important implications for clinical trial designs for HNSCC in the recurrent and oligometastatic setting.
