Background Carotid body tumor (CBT) is a rare neoplasm that has been increasingly
studied during the last decades; nevertheless, it continues to be a topic of controversy. This …

Head and neck paragangliomas (HNPGLs) are rare neuroendocrine tumors typically arising
from nonsecretory head and neck parasympathetic ganglia. Historically thought of as …

This manuscript is the result of the North American Neuroendocrine Tumor Society
consensus conference on the medical management and surveillance of metastatic and …

Background Jugular paragangliomas represent a surgical challenge due to their vascularity
and proximity to vital neurovascular structures. Preoperative embolization aids in reducing …

Background Pre‐operative embolization prior to surgical resection of carotid body tumors
was meant to decrease intraoperative blood loss and operative time. Yet, potential …

Background: Carotid body tumor is a hypervascular tumor with multiple feeding arteries and
unique orientation at the carotid bifurcation. Although resection is a radical therapy for this …

Background: Recommendations regarding head and neck paragangliomas (HNPGL) have
undergone a fundamental reorientation in the last decade as a result of increased …

Background To investigate the impact of preoperative embolization (p-TAE) on CBT surgical
resection and explore the optimal tumor volume for p-TAE of CBT resection. Methods This …

OBJECTIVE Carotid body tumors (CBTs) are rare, slow-growing neoplasms derived from the
parasympathetic paraganglia of the carotid bodies. Although inherently vascular lesions, the …

Objective: Compare the effects of preoperative embolization for carotid body tumor resection
on surgical outcomes to carotid body tumor resections without preoperative embolization …
