TL;DR: The feasibility of neoadjuvant immune checkpoint blockade in melanoma is described and the need for additional studies to optimize treatment regimens and to validate putative biomarkers is emphasized.

TL;DR: The use of postoperative radiation therapy was associated with a significant improvement in locoregional control and survival rates and future therapeutic innovations should be directed toward controlling the development of distant metastases in patients with Merkel cell carcinoma.

TL;DR: Performance measures following oncologic procedures were significantly affected by comorbid conditions and by procedure acuity, and although the latter most strongly affects quality and performance indicators, both should weigh heavily in physician comparisons.

TL;DR: The purpose of this study was to describe the 30‐day incidence of complications after total laryngectomy in a high‐volume institution and their impact on the hospital length of stay (LOS) and readmission rates.

TL;DR: Evaluating the prereferral treatment of patients referred to the authors' tertiary care center with recurrent or persistent head and neck cancer for compliance with National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines concluded that measures to ensure that patients receive therapy according to guidelines should be a national priority.
