TL;DR: This large international study to estimate fractions of head and neck cancers attributable to human papillomavirus (HPV-AFs) using six HPV-related biomarkers of viral detection, transcription, and cellular transformation confirms the important role ofHPVs in oropharyngeal cancer and drastically downplays the previously reported involvement of HPVs in the other HNCs.

TL;DR: The improvement in locoregional control of head and neck carcinomas over the last decades does not appear to modify the final survival of these patients, mainly due to the appearance of distant metastases and second neoplasms.

TL;DR: Simultaneous exposure to tobacco and alcohol consumption increases oral cancer risk in a synergistic fashion, even when consumption levels are moderate, underline the importance of type of Tobacco and alcohol concentration in oral carcinogenesis.

TL;DR: The objective of this study was to evaluate the frequency of distant metastases in patients with head and neck carcinoma and to determine the relative role of several prognostic factors in the subsequent development of distant cancer metastases.

TL;DR: A new endoscopic cordectomy (type VI) for cancers of the anterior commissure, which have extended or not to one or both of the vocal folds, without infiltration of the thyroid cartilage is now being proposed by the European Laryngological Society Committee on Nomenclature to revise and complete the initially reported classification.
