Prognostic value of radiological T category using conventional MRI in patients with oral tongue cancer: comparison with pathological T category. Neuroradiology 2024; 66:907-917. [PMID: 38607437 PMCID: PMC11133020 DOI: 10.1007/s00234-024-03345-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/23/2024] [Accepted: 03/19/2024] [Indexed: 04/13/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE This study aimed to compare the radiological tumor (T)-category using multiparametric MRI with the pathological T category in patients with oral tongue squamous cell carcinoma (OTSCC) and to examine which is a better predictor of prognosis. METHODS This retrospective study included 110 consecutive patients with surgically resected primary OTSCC who underwent preoperative contrast-enhanced MRI. T categories determined by maximum diameter and depth of invasion were retrospectively assessed based on the pathological specimen and multiparametric MRI. The MRI assessment included the axial and coronal T1-weighted image (T1WI), axial T2-weighted image (T2WI), coronal fat-suppressed T2WI, and axial and coronal fat-suppressed contrast-enhanced T1WI (CET1WI). Axial and coronal CET1WI measurements were divided into two groups: measurements excluding peritumoral enhancement (MEP) and measurements including peritumoral enhancement. The prognostic values for recurrence and disease-specific survival after radiological and pathological T categorization of cases into T1/T2 and T3/T4 groups were compared. RESULTS The T category of MEP on coronal CET1WI was the most relevant prognostic factor for recurrence [hazard ratio (HR) = 3.30, p = 0.001] and the HR was higher than the HR for pathological assessment (HR = 2.26, p = 0.026). The T category determined by MEP on coronal CET1WI was also the most relevant prognostic factor for disease-specific survival (HR = 3.12, p = 0.03), and the HR was higher than the HR for pathological assessment (HR = 2.02, p = 0.20). CONCLUSION The T category determined by MEP on the coronal CET1WI was the best prognostic factor among all radiological and pathological T category measurements.

Intraoperative three-dimensional scanning of head and neck surgical defects: Enhanced communication and documentation of harvested supplemental margins. Head Neck 2023; 45:2690-2699. [PMID: 37638591 DOI: 10.1002/hed.27498] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/16/2023] [Revised: 08/11/2023] [Accepted: 08/19/2023] [Indexed: 08/29/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND We have demonstrated the effectiveness of 3D resection specimen scanning for communicating margin results. We now address the corresponding surgical defect by debuting 3D defect models, which allow for accurate annotations of harvested supplemental margins. METHODS Surgical defects were rendered into 3D models, which were annotated to document the precise location of harvested supplemental margins. 3D defect scans were also compared with routine 2D photography and were analyzed for quality, clarity, and the time required to complete the scan. RESULTS Forty defects were scanned from procedures including segmental mandibulectomy, maxillectomy, and laryngopharyngectomy. Average duration of defect scan was 6 min, 45 s. In six of ten 2D photographs, the surgeon was unable to precisely annotate the extent of at least one supplemental margin. CONCLUSION 3D defect scanning offers advantages in that this technique enables documentation of the precise location and breadth of supplemental margins harvested to address margins at-risk.

Utilizing 3D head and neck specimen scanning for intraoperative margin discussions: Proof of concept of our novel approach. Head Neck 2023; 45:10-21.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The current standard of documenting and communicating frozen section margin results is inefficient. We present a novel method of generating 3D digital models of gross tumor specimens to more clearly visualize histopathological margin results. METHODS Fifty-five head and neck specimens were scanned and virtually "inked" using 3D software. These 3D specimen maps were displayed in the operating room to provide the surgeon with a real-time specimen-to-defect relationship by which further resections could be guided. RESULTS Margin results were reported within an average of 34 min using the proposed workflow. The scanner rendered accurate models of specimens that exceeded 3.0 × 3.0 × 3.0 cm. Critical specimen features to consider were size, color, textural complexity, and the presence of discernible anatomic landmarks. CONCLUSIONS Optical 3D scanning technology can improve the quality of head and neck margin documentation and the efficiency with which results are communicated between the pathologist and surgeon.

Additive Manufacturing of Resected Oral and Oropharyngeal Tissue: A Pilot Study. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2021; 18:ijerph18030911. [PMID: 33494422 PMCID: PMC7908081 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph18030911] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/30/2020] [Revised: 01/16/2021] [Accepted: 01/18/2021] [Indexed: 11/21/2022]
Abstract
Better visualization of tumor structure and orientation are needed in the postoperative setting. We aimed to assess the feasibility of a system in which oral and oropharyngeal tumors are resected, photographed, 3D modeled, and printed using additive manufacturing techniques. Three patients diagnosed with oral/oropharyngeal cancer were included. All patients underwent preoperative magnetic resonance imaging followed by resection. In the operating room (OR), the resected tissue block was photographed using a smartphone. Digital photos were imported into Agisoft Photoscan to produce a digital 3D model of the resected tissue. Physical models were then printed using binder jetting techniques. The aforementioned process was applied in pilot cases including carcinomas of the tongue and larynx. The number of photographs taken for each case ranged from 63 to 195. The printing time for the physical models ranged from 2 to 9 h, costs ranging from 25 to 141 EUR (28 to 161 USD). Digital photography may be used to additively manufacture models of resected oral/oropharyngeal tumors in an easy, accessible and efficient fashion. The model may be used in interdisciplinary discussion regarding postoperative care to improve understanding and collaboration, but further investigation in prospective studies is required.
