ENT & Allergy # 301Nov 3, 2026Hearing Loss & Aural Rehab in Children with Cancer
After months of chemotherapy, some children arrive in the clinic depressed and unable to hear their families, and after a cochlear implant, as Dr. Daniela Carvalho puts it, “you see a smile on their face again.” On this episode of the BackTable Creator Weekend™ series on pediatric head and neck cancer, host Dr. Anthony Sheyn welcomes pediatric otolaryngologist Dr. Daniela Carvalho and audiologist Dr. Julie Silva to discuss hearing loss and aural rehabilitation in children with cancer. They cover baseline and surveillance testing during ototoxic chemotherapy, how cisplatin, carboplatin, and cranial radiation shape the monitoring schedule, where sodium thiosulfate fits, and how extended high-frequency testing and otoacoustic emissions can catch changes before the standard audiogram does.

Multidisciplinary Management of Pediatric Invasive Fungal Sinusitis
When a child with cancer develops invasive fungal sinusitis, how do you balance urgent surgery, antifungal therapy, and the wait for neutrophil recovery? On this episode of the BackTable Creator Weekend™ series on pediatric head and neck cancer, host Dr. Rob Tuliszewski welcomes Dr. Dennis Kuo, a pediatric hematologist-oncologist, and Dr. Leidy Tovar Padua, a pediatric infectious diseases specialist, both at Rady Children's Hospital-San Diego and UC San Diego, to walk through pediatric invasive fungal sinusitis from first suspicion to recovery. They discuss who is at highest risk, the fever and neutropenia workup, imaging and plasma next-generation sequencing, how urgently to call ENT, and antifungal prophylaxis.
