    Background Locally advanced laryngeal cancers can spread to the thyroid gland by direct invasion of cricothyroid membrane. The prevalence of thyroid gland invasion (TGI) and the predictive factors of TGI were well described in literature. However, the association of TGI with survival was undetermined yet. Objectives The aim of this study is to analyze the effects of TGI on survival rates in patients with locally advanced laryngeal cancer. Materials and methods Medical records of 91 patients who underwent total laryngectomy with thyroidectomy were retrospectively reviewed. Demographical, clinical, and histopathological characteristics of the patients were noted. Kaplan-Meier test was used for survival analysis. Results Histopathology reports revealed the prevalence of TGI as 14.3% (13/91). Survival analyses showed that TGI did not affect recurrence free (p = .078) and overall (p = .080) survival rates. Conclusions Thyroid gland invasion is one of the characteristic features of locally aggressive laryngeal tumors. In this study, TGI is not a statistically significant prognostic factor that has impact on survival of the patients with locally advanced laryngeal cancer.

    Introduction: Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) vaccine provides a primary prevention opportunity to decrease the morbidity and mortality of cervical cancer. Turkey has not yet included it in the national immunization program, but it is commercially available. We aimed to explore the predictors of HPV vaccine uptake among female students in a university in Turkey.Methods: This is a cross-sectional survey conducted with 1,115 female students via a questionnaire assessing the sociodemographic characteristics, vaccination uptake, knowledge and attitudes towards HPV and related conditions.Results: 75.2% (n=838) of the participants reported hearing HPV vaccine and 17.9% (n=200) reported they had received at least one dose of HPV vaccine. The median knowledge score was 6 out of 10. Multivariate analysis showed that age (OR: 1.181; 95% CI 1.070-1.304), knowledge score (OR: 1.183; 95% CI 1.075-1.302), department (OR: 1.667; 95% CI 1.0872.557), sexual activity (OR: 2.384; 95% CI 1.596-3.561), and level of family income (OR: 3.205; 95% CI 2.066-4.970), were significantly associated with vaccination uptake.Conclusion: Our study indicates that the cost of HPV vaccines is an important barrier to equitable access to vaccines. Policies ensuring equitable access and raising awareness has the potential to promote the vaccination uptake among youth.
