Lung cancer metastasis to oral soft tissues; Systematic review of 122 cases.
Lung cancer metastasis to oral region is very rare. Studies have been published analysing the cases of metastatic tumours to the oral cavity by many researchers. But very few research work has been conducted till date to analyse only the oral soft tissue metastasis from Lung cancer as the primary source. The goal of this study was to examine published cases of oral soft tissue metastasis from lung cancer as the only primary source from 1st August 1977 to 31st December 2021.An electronic search of the published English literature was performed in PubMed/ Medline, Scopus, Google Scholar, and Research gate databases, using keywords like 'Lung cancer', OR/ AND 'Lung carcinoma' OR/ AND 'Oral cav…
SARS-CoV-2 vaccination modelling for safe surgery to save lives: data from an international prospective cohort study
Abstract Background Preoperative SARS-CoV-2 vaccination could support safer elective surgery. Vaccine numbers are limited so this study aimed to inform their prioritization by modelling. Methods The primary outcome was the number needed to vaccinate (NNV) to prevent one COVID-19-related death in 1 year. NNVs were based on postoperative SARS-CoV-2 rates and mortality in an international cohort study (surgical patients), and community SARS-CoV-2 incidence and case fatality data (general population). NNV estimates were stratified by age (18–49, 50–69, 70 or more years) and type of surgery. Best- and worst-case scenarios were used to describe uncertainty. Results NNVs were more favourable in su…
