Neck dissection for oral squamous-cell carcinoma (OSCC) is a clinically controversial issue and has therefore been the subject of abundant research. However, no one has performed a bibliometric study on this topic to date. The aim of this study was to assess the development of research on neck dissection for OSCC in terms of the historical evolution, current hotspots and future directions, particularly including research trends and frontiers from 2010 to 2019. Literature records related to research on neck dissection for OSCC were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC). CiteSpace was used as a tool to perform a bibliometric analysis of this topic. The survey included 2 096 papers. "Otorhinolaryngology" was the most popular research area. The most active institutions and countries were Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and the USA, respectively. Shah J.P. was the most cited author. Among the six identified "core journals", Head & Neck ranked first. The top three trending keywords were 'invasion', 'upper aerodigestive' and 'negative neck'. 'D'Cruz AK (2015)' was the most cited and the strongest burst reference in the last decade. The study evaluated the effect on survival of elective versus therapeutic neck dissection in patients with lateralized early-stage OSCC. The depth of invasion and the management of N0 OSCC were research frontiers in this field. The present study provides a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of research on neck dissection for OSCC, which will assist investigators in exploring potential research directions.

Objective: Local recurrence is the main cause of treatment failure in patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). This study was proposed to investigate the feasibility of near infrared fluorescence (NIF) via indocyanine green (ICG) for monitoring surgical marginal in operation for OSCC patients. Methods: In 35 patients with OSCC treated surgically in the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Nanjing University School of Medicine, from January 2019 to June 2020, ICG (0.75 mg/kg) was administered intravenously via elbow vein at (12±1) hours before surgery, and NIF was performed intraoperatively on the surgical field and the cut edge of the surgically excised specimen, and fluorescence intensity was measured for OSCC tissue and normal oral mucosa, abnormal fluorescence signals were taken and subjected to rapid cryopathological examination. Correlation between NIF tumor boundary grading and pathological tumor boundary grading was analyzed by Spearman correlation analysis. Results: Clear ICG NIF was obtained for tumor lesions in all 35 patients, with a positive rate of 100%. The fluorescence intensity of OSCC tissue was (412.73±146.56) au, which was higher than that of normal oral mucosa tissue [(279.38±82.56) au, P<0.01]. Abnormal fluorescence signals were detected at the tumor bed and the cut edge of the surgical resection specimen in 4 patients, of which 2 cases were pathologically confirmed as cancer cell residue and 2 cases as inflammatory cell infiltration. The rate of positive detection of cut margins using ICG NIF technique in OSCC was 5.7% (2/35). Twenty of the 35 OSCC patients had grade 1, 11 of grade 2, and 4 of grade 3 tumor borders revealed by NIF of surgical resection specimens, which was positively correlated with pathological tumor border (r=0.809, P<0.001). Conclusions: ICG NIF technique can effectively detect the residual cancer cells at the incision margin, which is of great clinical value in reducing local recurrence of OSCC after surgery due to intraoperative cancer residue.

Applied TNM-system for determination and prognostic classification of the cancer patients of Oral and Maxillofacial region does, however, only partly justice, if at all, to the nature of the tumor disease. And the TNM-system implies among other defects a crude simplification of the complex pattern of the tumor disease. But in clinical practice, the prognosis must be determined on the bases of a specific combination of clinical factors under consideration of various therapeutical conditions. For more reliable and objective prognosis determination for the cancer patients of Oral and Maxillofacial region, `Retrospective DOSAK(German-Austrian-Swiss Association for Head and Neck Tumors) study' introduced Treatment-dependent Prognosis Index TPI in 1982. Treatment-dependent Prognosis Index TPI gives the clinician an opportunity to determine the prognosis before starting therapy at the time of the first admission of the patient, during the therapy and immediately after complete of the therapy. The fundamental purpose of the TPI can be summarized as follows. 1) In clinical-therapeutical cancer research the TPI provides a sound basis for the planning and verification of therapy studies. 2) In clinical practice the TPI allows a reliable and objective determination of the prognosis for the individual patient and thus provides the clinician valuable assistance in planning the treatment. The authors estimated the survival curves of the 179 cases of squamous cell carcinoma from 1985.1.1 to 1992.8.31 in the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Seoul National University Hospital according to Treatment-dependent Prognosis Index TPI of Retrospective DOSAK study and compared with the survival curves observed in long term study on prognosis of patients.

OBJECTIVE:
To investigate the feasibility of utilizing pedicled sternocleidomastoid clavicular periosteocutaneous flap to reconstruct the laryngotracheal defect after tumor resection.
METHOD:
To review 6 cases of laryngotracheal defect resulting from resction of thyroid papillary carcinoma(4/6) or subglottic laryngeal carcinoma (2/6) (T1~2N1~2M0 , UICC,2002), laryngotracheal stenting was also employed in all cases. Half a year after surgery, the stoma was sutured if no local recurrence took place and safety was proved after tracheal tube had been obstructed for days. The follow-up time lasted from half a year to 3 years.
RESULT:
Four cases (4/6) were extubated successfully without event, one case could intermittently plug the tracheal tube. One patient couldn't breath with tracheal tube plugging.
CONCLUSION
To reconstruct the laryngotracheal defect with pedicled sternocleidomastoid clavicular.periosteocutaneous flap after tumor resection is feasible in selected cases and could get satisfactory clinical results either in respiration or phonation.

9.Clinical characteristics of 97 hypopharyngeal carcinoma cases.
Journal of Clinical Otorhinolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery 2015;29(6):542-546
OBJECTIVE:
Study the clinical characteristics, treatment results and prognostic factors of hypopharyngeal carcinoma. MMETHOD: A retrospective analysis was performed of 97 hypopharyngeal cases that were treated in Department of Dtolaryngology of our hospital from January 2008 to December 2012. 93 cases of them are male patients, and 4 cases are female patients. The tumors are originated from pyriform sinus(75 cases), posterior pharyngeal wall (16 cases) and post-cricoid area (6 cases). Of the 97 patients,21 patients were treated with partial hypopharynx resection (21. 6%), 7 were treated with partial laryngectomy+ partial hypopharynx resection (7. 2%), 53 were treated with total laryngectomy+partial hypopharynx resection (54. 6%), 12 were treated with total laryngectomy and total hypopharynx resection, gastric-pharyngeal anastomosis (12. 4%) and 4 were treated with total laryngectomy and total hypopharynx resection, enteric-pharyngeal anastomosis (4. 1%). Sixty-one cases undergo postoperative radiotherapy in Oncology. Use Chi-square test to do enumeration data analysis, the survival rate is calculated with the life table method, survival analysis with Kaplan-Meier method, parallel Log-rank test. Cox regression multivariate analysis model is used to find the factors affecting prognosis.
RESULT:
The follow-up rate of this group was 90. 7%. All patients' 1-year survival rate is 76. 0% , 3-year survival rate is 56. 0%, pathological lymph node metastasis rate is 71. 1%, occult lymph node metastasis rate is 19. 6%. Local recurrence rate is 21. 6%. The main reasons of death in patients include : cervical lymph node metastasis in 7 patients (21. 9%), local recurrence in 12 cases (37. 5%), distant metastases in 10 patients (31. 3%) and so on. Univariate analysis showed that tumor size (P<0. 01) and tumor T stage (P<0. 05) have impact on survival prognosis, no risk factors was found with Cox regression multivariate analysis.
CONCLUSION
Hypopharyngeal carcinoma is difficult to be found early, prone to recurrence and metastasis after operation, carefully chosen surgical excision and neck dissection, adjuvant postoperative radiation therapy is the main treatment strategy. Posterior pharyngeal wall carcinoma tend to have higer recurrence and metastasis rate than the other two types of hypopharyngeal caocinom, and treatment would cause much larger injury, so more attention should be paid to this type of hypopharyngeal caocinom.

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is based on a photochemical reaction which is initiated by light activation of a photosensitizer. The photosensitizer accumulates more in tumor tissues than in normal tissues and is activated with specific wavelength of light, usually laser. The photochemical reaction produces highly reactive oxygen products causing cytotoxiciy and vascular shutdown to the tumor. The advantages of PDT are its relative selective tumor destruction and tissue healing by regeneration, which can maintain important structures with very good functional and esthetic results. Therefore, PDT is considered as an alternative modality for cancers of the head and neck. In this article, we will report three cases of photodynamic therapy for treatment of oral leukoplakia, squamous cell carcinoma, and basal cell carcinoma of head and neck. It was observed that premalignant and malignant lesions responded well to the photodynamic therapy with Aminolevulinic acid (ALA) and Foscan(R). Photodynamic therapy can be considered as a new treatment method for the premalignant and malignant tumors in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery.
