Abstract
Radiotherapy plays a critical role in the nodal management of patients with head and neck cancer. The indications, dose fractionation schedules, and results of postoperative radiation therapy (PORT) and elective nodal management (ENI) in various head and neck cancers are reviewed and summarized with common themes identified.
Keywords: Elective irradiation, head and neck cancer, lymph nodes, postoperative irradiation, skin cancer.

Current progress in Protein Degradation and Cancer Therapy
argeted Protein Degradation is gaining momentum in cancer therapy, it facilitate targeting undruggable proteins, it overcome cancer resistance and avoid undesirable side effects. Thus small molecules degraders have emerged as novel therapeutic strategy. Targeted protein degradation (TPD), the process of eliminating a protein of interest hold a great promise for ...read more
