Abstract
This study examined the real-world use of nivolumab in patients with recurrent/metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (R/M SCCHN). This was a multinational retrospective study (VOLUME) assessing treatment effectiveness and safety outcomes and a prospective study (VOLUME-PRO) assessing HRQoL and patient-reported symptoms. There were 447 and 51 patients in VOLUME and VOLUME-PRO, respectively. Across both studies, the median age was 64.0 years, 80.9% were male, and 52.6% were former smokers. Clinical outcomes of interest included real-world overall survival (rwOS) and real-world progression-free survival (rwPFS). The median rwOS was 9.2 months. Among patients with at least one assessment, 21.7% reported their best response as 'partial response', with 3.9% reporting 'complete response'. The median duration of response (DoR) and median rwPFS were 11.0 months and 3.9 months, respectively. At baseline, VOLUME-PRO patients reported difficulties relating to fatigue, physical and sexual functioning, dyspnea, nausea, sticky saliva, dry mouth, pain/discomfort, mobility, and financial difficulties. There were improvements in social functioning and financial difficulties throughout the study; however, no other clinically meaningful changes were noted. No new safety concerns were identified. This real-world, multinational, multicenter, retrospective and prospective study supports the effectiveness and safety of nivolumab for R/M SCCHN patients.

The application of salvage surgery improves the quality of life and overall survival of extensively recurrent head and neck cancer after multiple operation plus radiotherapy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The prognosis, choice of reconstruction and the quality of life (QOL) after salvage surgery (SS) for extensively locoregional recurrent/metastatic head and neck cancer (R/M HNC) is an important issue, but there are few reports at present. MATERIALS AND METHODS We analyzed extensively locoregional R/M HNC patients from March 1, 2015, to December 31, 2021 who underwent SS with latissimus dorsi or pectoralis major musculocutaneous flaps. QOL were accessed using QLQ-H&N35 and UW-QOL questionnaire. Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used to compare difference between pre- and post-QOL and Kaplan-Meier curves were used in estimate overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS). The literature review summarized recent 10 years clinical trials of nonoperative treatment in R/M head and neck cancer. RESULTS 1362 patients were identified and 25 patients were analyzed after screened. Median age at surgery was 59 years (range 43-77), 15/25(60%) were male and 22/25(88%) chose latissimus dorsi flap. Better mean pain score after applying massive soft tissue flaps revealed relief of severe pain(p<0.001) which strongly associated with improvement of QOL. The improved mean overall QOL score after surgery revealed a better QOL(p<0.001). As of June 1, 2022, 11/25 (44%) of the patients were alive. The 1-year, 2-year OS after SS was 58.4% and 37.2%, while the 1-year, 2-year DFS was 26.2% and 20.9%. The median OS of our study was better than nonoperative treatment of 11 included clinical trials. CONCLUSIONS R/M HNC patients underwent SS can obtain survival benefit. The application of massive soft tissue flap in SS could significantly enhance the QOL for patients with extensively locoregional R/M HNC, especially by relieving severe pain.
