A raised neutrophil / lymphocyte ratio predicts vestibular schwannoma growth

1 September 2016 |
It has long been known that the neutrophil to lymphocyte count ratio (NLR) is a marker of inflammation and that a higher ratio relates to poorer outcomes in some malignant tumours including some head and neck cancers. Neutrophilia (and therefore...

The challenges in the risk stratification of thyroid nodules and cancers: the role of molecular testing

7 January 2025 | | ENTA - Head & Neck
Around the world, molecular testing is becoming more widely used to personalise the management of thyroid nodules. Thyroid nodules are relatively common. They are palpable in ~5% of the population, while high-resolution ultrasound (US) incidentally finds them in 19–68% of...
