Article Abstract
Objective: To detect the expression level of tRNA-derived fragments secreted by extracellular vesicles in hypopharyngeal cancer and explore the influence of tRNA-derived fragments on the occurrence of hypopharyngeal cancer and lung metastasis.
Methods: After high-speed centrifugation, tRNA, which was extracted from the extracellular vesicles of patients with hypopharyngeal cancer and healthy subjects, was sequenced using microarrays. The expression of three differentially expressed tRNAs in hypopharyngeal cancer, healthy subjects, human normal laryngeal epithelial cells and hypopharyngeal cancer line was detected by qRT-PCR. The correlation between the upregulated tRNA, as identified by qRT-PCR, and the clinicopathological features of the non-lung metastatic patients was further analyzed. Finally, the expressions of upregulated tRNA were compared between the non-lung metastatic and lung metastatic patients. The risk factors of hypopharyngeal cancer with lung metastatic were identified by the Cox regression analysis.
Results: By high-speed centrifugation, extracellular vesicles were extracted successfully. It was found that a variety of tRNAs in the extracellular vesicles from patients with hypopharyngeal cancer by sequencing. qRT-PCR validation indicated that tRF-1:30-Lys-CTT-1-M2 was significantly overexpressed in hypopharyngeal cancer patients and tumor cells, especially in lung metastatic patients. It was indicated that tRF-1:30-Lys-CTT-1-M2 overexpression was closely related to such pathological features as tumor staging, differentiation grade, smoking history and drinking history. According to the Cox regression analysis, stage III-IV, smoking history, drinking history and tRF-1:30-Lys-CTT-1-M2 overexpression were independent risk factors for metastasis of hypopharyngeal cancer.
Conclusion: tRF-1:30-Lys-CTT-1-M2 was overexpressed in patients with hypopharyngeal cancer and was identified as an independent risk factor for lung metastasis. It can be used as a novel biomarker for the diagnosis and lung metastasis monitoring of hypopharyngeal cancer.

Objectives: Ultra-high dose rate irradiation (UHDR) has been shown to spare normal tissue in various model systems. This study evaluates its potential to sterilize cancer cells using spheroid tumor models.
Methods: Spheroids from glioblastoma (U87), hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (two sizes, FaDusmall and FaDularge) and breast adenocarcinoma (T47D) cells were irradiated with electron beams using UHDR (>200Gy/s) or conventional dose rate (CONV,∼0.

Introduction: The lymph-node yield and the lymph-node ratio have emerged as important prognostic tools for head and neck cancer. These metrics are an index of disease burden, but also of quality standards. The objective of the present study was to examine the impact of different lymph-node yield cut-offs and the lymph-node ratio on 10-year recurrence-free interval and overall-survival.

This study aimed to identify metabolites associated with prognosis in patients with hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (HPSCC).
Methods: Fifty-two patients who underwent surgery for HPSCC were included and randomly divided into test and validation cohorts of 26 patients each for further metabolome analysis using capillary electrophoresis/mass spectrometry on tumor and non-tumor tissues of the hypopharynx.

Objective: Radiotherapy is an effective treatment modality for head and neck cancer; however, it is associated with various side effects. One of the most devastating complications in the laryngopharyngeal region is radionecrosis, which presents with various signs and symptoms and can significantly impair patients' quality of life. This study aimed to identify factors related to the occurrence of radionecrosis and to evaluate treatment outcomes based on clinical experience.
