RESUMO

The detection of the primary site in Carcinoma of Unknown Primary (CUP) is a challenging task which can significantly alter the course of management and also prognosis. Various modalities have been assessed with varying sensitivity and specificity. Imaging and cytological diagnosis have formed a key part of the diagnostic algorithm of CUP. Trans Oral Robotic Surgery offers the advantage of being both diagnostic as well as therapeutic with promising sensitivity and specificity and can form an integral part in the management of CUP. A prospective study was carried out at a tertiary care centre over a period of one year. Patients with unilateral neck swelling which was histopathologically proven squamous cell carcinoma neck metastasis were included in the study. They were evaluated with endoscopy and radiology according to the standard algorithm. When these failed to detect the primary, the patients underwent ipsilateral radical tonsillectomy and tongue base mucosal wedge biopsy via TORS. Post-operative histopathological examination was done on the resected specimens to detect the primary site. Transoral Robotic Surgery was able to localise primary in 50% of the patients enrolled in the study. Out of the primary site identified by TORS; 55.56% were located in the tonsil and 44.4% in the tongue base. TORS can offer promising detection rates of the occult primary in CUP and should form an integral part of the diagnostic algorithm.

RESUMO

Introduction Establishing and maintaining a cancer registry in a tertiary high volume centre is fraught with difficulty, inaccuracy and missed data entry. Further, the raw unstructured data must be converted into a structured digital data, so that scientists can identify trends in cancer diagnoses and treatment responses. Objective We test the feasibility of establishing a cancer registry of Head and Neck malignancy patients through a research oriented artificial intelligence (AI) enabled data collection platform, using its smartphone application version. Materials and Methods This prospective observational study was conducted in the Department of Otolaryngology & Head and Neck Surgery, Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education And Research, Chandigarh in collaboration with Departments of Radiotherapy and Community Medicine. After taking due clearance from the Institute ethical committee, HNC patients, who were biopsy proven, were enrolled from October 2019 up to March 2021. The obtained data was entered, followed up and analysed through Jiyyo Research application which is a commercially available dedicated research oriented AI enabled data collection platform. Results The Jiyyo Research site was browsed and after proper registration, the patient data was entered into a proforma/questionnaire. The entered patient details were browsed for review, follow up and addition of new information. The whole process of data capture for each patient, took approximately 5-8 min, while any updates or review for the same patient required less than a minute. Search and data retrieval was very quick, and can be done in 1-2 min. Through this platform, a total of 1214 HNC patients were collected, followed and analysed during the study period. Conclusion It was feasible to establish a Head and Neck Cancer Registry using an AI based smartphone app. This AI based tumor registry could benefit in further studies with longer follow up of 5 and 10 years and in future AI studies.
