Johns Hopkins speech language pathologist (SLP) Rina Abrams recaps a consensus statement by dysphagia experts that was recently published in the journal Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery. The statement focuses on the management of dysphagia in patients with head and neck cancer, to address controversies and suggest opportunities for quality improvement. Care provided by a multidisciplinary team is preferred for optimal care, including evaluations by an SLP and a registered dietitian before, during and after head and neck cancer treatment to guide diet recommendations and prophylactic and therapeutic interventions. Read the full statement here.

Medicine Video: Essential Updates in the Physiatric Management of Post COVID Conditions: Fatigue, Cardiovascular
This session will provide updates on the central role of Physiatrists and the American Academy of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (AAPM&R) in defining and guiding the care of individuals with functional limitations due to Post-Acute Sequelae of COVID-19 (PASC). Physiatrists are essential physicians to manage the rehabilitation of individuals with PASC – a chronic disabling condition affecting up to 1/3rd of individuals who get COVID-19. This session will provide updates to the essential knowledge needed by Physiatrists to deliver excellence in care to individuals with PASC-related fatigue, cardiovascular disorders, breathing disorders and pain. Attendees will be engaged through a panel discussion, case examples and questions / answers. This session will summarize the initial work completed by the AAPM&R PASC Collaborative and provide detailed updates on our understanding of PASC pathology and the specific management of PASC symptoms and system disorders. As, for many, PASC becomes a chronic (3+ years) condition, advances in understanding opens new therapeutic opportunities to individuals with persistent PASC. Over the past year, the AAPM&R PASC collaborative has advanced its knowledge and understanding of post COVID conditions and this session is focused on updating Physiatrists on these advances in evaluation and management of PASC. Individuals with PASC often have a protracted course with persistent limitations in vocational and avocational activity tolerance with significant negative impact on quality of life. This session will reinforce the essential knowledge required by Physiatrists in the short and long term management of individuals with PASC and provide the latest updates in management.
Learning Objectives:
Discuss the presentation of common PASC organ / system specific dysfunction - Fatigue, Cardiovascular, Pulmonary and Pain Disorders
Conduct a thorough evaluation of common PASC organ / system based disabilities - Fatigue, Cardiovascular, Pulmonary and Pain Disorders
Understand the advances in management and outcomes monitoring of common PASC organ / system based disabilities - Fatigue, Cardiovascular, Pulmonary and Pain Disorders

Does Tumor Volume Assessed by Cumulative Cancer Location Predict Grade Reclassification on Active Surveillance in the MRI Era?
S. Fletcher, M. Mamawala, A. Holler, Z. Su, Y. Bhanji, C. de la Calle, C. Pavlovich
Johns Hopkins Brady Urological Institute, Baltimore, MD, USA
Introduction and Objective: Cumulative cancer location (CCLO) has previously been shown to be associated with grade reclassification (GR) during active surveillance (AS) in men without prostate MRI (Erickson et al, Eur Urol Onc 2018). Given the variability in interpreting metrics such as number of positive cores and maximum percentage of cancer in a core, we aimed to determine the ability of CCLO to predict GR in the MRI era.
Methods: We identified patients enrolled in AS between 2011 and 2021 with Grade Group (GG) 1 disease who underwent prostate MRI. We developed an “MRI-CCLO” (mCCLO) score by summing the total number of uniquely involved sextants positive for cancer on both diagnostic and confirmatory biopsy, with an additional point for an MRI with at least one PI-RADS 2 lesion. Men were stratified into low (1-2) and high (3) mCCLO risk groups. The primary outcome was GR to GG2 on subsequent biopsies. Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to compare GR rates between mCCLO risk groups. Using multivariable analyses, we compared performance of a base model (age, confirmatory biopsy year, race, PSA density, and highest PI-RADS score) with the base model plus either mCCLO, number of positive cores, or maximum percentage of cancer in a core.
Results: Among a total of 310 patients, the high mCCLO group had significantly higher rates of GR compared to the low mCCLO group (Figure). Each model had comparable discriminative ability (c-indices, 95% CI: mCCLO [0.68, 0.63-0.74], number of positive cores [0.68, 0.63-0.73], maximum percentage of cancer in a core [0.67, 0.61-0.72], base model [0.66, 0.60-0.72]).
Conclusions: The mCCLO score is comparable to traditional biopsy metrics in predicting GR but may offer greater reproducibility and less variability in interpretation
