The use of hypofractionated radiation therapy has increased among many cancers, although its use in head and neck cancers remains limited due to concerns regarding acute and late toxicities. Recent retrospective and prospective studies demonstrate the preliminary safety and efficacy of hypofractionation in the definitive, postoperative, and preoperative settings for head and neck treatment. This article seeks to comprehensively review the rationale and data for novel fractionation schemes in this disease site. We also provide practical clinical and dosimetric insights based on our institutional experiences with hypofractionation in head and neck cancers.

Objective: To develop, implement, and evaluate a novel process used for residency application review that deemphasizes metrics known to create bias with the goal of interviewing and matching a more diverse resident cohort.
Methods: Between 2020 and 2023, a novel standardized rubric and application review process were developed and implemented at the authors' academic training program. The rubric deemphasized USMLE scores, honor society membership, and number of publications while utilizing an AI-driven pre-sort of applications, facilitating holistic review.

Cystic lesions of the head and neck encompass a wide spectrum of benign and malignant entities, which often presents diagnostic challenges as a result of the region's complex anatomy. Despite extensive literature, variability persists in diagnostic strategies and approaches. Fine-needle aspiration biopsy is a commonly used and highly effective method for the initial assessment of these lesions by offering a minimally invasive technique to collect cellular material for diagnostic evaluation.
