(1) This document discusses prognostic factors and surgical approaches in head and neck cancer.
(2) Key prognostic factors discussed include TNM stage, tumor volume, resection margin status, and HPV 16 status.
(3) The document also discusses the importance of surgical approach and extent of resection in head and neck cancer treatment. Organ preservation is prioritized when possible with adjuvant radiation or chemoradiation therapy.

2. To protect the lower airway from aspiration, respiration
ceases and the larynx is closed at three levels:
tongue
aryepiglottic folds
ventricular folds
true vocal folds

8. Extended definitions of R-Classification
R0 >1mm No residual tumor, minimal distance between
tumor and resection margin more than 1 mm
R1< 1mm No residual tumor, minimal distance between
tumor and resection margin 1 mm or less
R1-dir Microscopic residual tumor, tumor directly within resection
margin (tumor transsected)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
R0 > 5 mm No residual tumor, minimal distance between
tumor and resection margin more than 5 mm
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

9. Exceptions in surgical treatment
of the larynx
-
- Glottis: closed oncological unit
- Slowly growing tumors
- Margin of 1mm in glottis
sufficient
- Late metastasis via lymph drainage
- En block resection tumor + neck nodes not necessarry
