Invert-Prospective Phase II Randomized Trial of Involved Nodal Versus Elective Neck RadioTherapy
To determine the risk of solitary elective volume recurrence following involved nodal radiotherapy (INRT) versus elective nodal irradiation (ENI)
Evaluation of an Oral Care Programme for Head and Neck Cancer Patients
This study will evaluate the effect of an intensified oral care programme on prevalence, severity and duration of mucositis in patients undergoing treatment for cancer in the head and neck region. Patients in the control group get professional oral care once a week.
Surufatinib Combined with Envolizumab As Second-line Treatment for Recurrent/Metastatic HNSCC
This study is a prospective,open-label,single-arm clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of s Surufatinib combined with envolizumab as second-line treatment of recurrent/metastatic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma . envolizumab: 300 mg subcutaneously every 3 weeks (Q3W); Surufatinib : 200 mg orally within 1 hour after breakfast, once …
Effect of Prehabilitation on Head and Neck Cancer Patients
The primary aim of the study is to investigate the feasibility of a prehabilitation program, which consists of a set of strategies including physical activity, nutritional support, and psychological counseling, carried out before and during cancer treatment for patients affected by head and neck tumors. About 4 weeks before surgery …
A Study of Pembrolizumab in Combination With Chemotherapy for Head and Neck Cancer
By doing this study, the research team would like to learn if using a blood test that measures the amount of tumor DNA in blood can help guide how to use chemotherapy combined with immunotherapy for individuals with head and neck cancer. Using this blood test, the research team hopes …
EMST in Patients Undergoing CRT for HNCA
This study is a randomized trial examining the impact of expiratory muscle strength training (EMST) on maintenance of safe and efficient oropharyngeal swallow function in persons with cancer of the head and neck (HNCA) undergoing treatment with radiation therapy or chemoradiotherapy (RT/CRT).
Exercise and Nutritional Prehabilitation for Head and Neck Cancer Patients
This study examines the acceptability, feasibility, and safety in developing a prehabilitation program for head and neck cancer patients. The purpose of this research is to access the safety and acceptability of using a prehabilitation program before head and neck cancer surgery.
Topical Diclofenac for Prevention of Radiation-induced Dermatitis
Radiation induced dermatitis (RID) is one of the leading adverse events of radiation therapy, and if occurred could alter the course of therapy. The main pathways of RID is inflammation and oxidative stress on local and systemic bases. The Diclofenac is a COX-2 inhibitor and Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs whose anti-inflammatory …
Prospective Validation of Adaptive Radiotherapy (ART) in Patients With Head and Neck Tumors
Adaptive radiotherapy (ART) includes image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT) and also offers further possibilities for plan adaptation. A particularly high benefit can be expected for patients in whom the clinical target volume (CTV) can show a significant change in shape from fraction to fraction due to anatomical deviations. The shape and position …
Intraoral Hypothermia Device for Preserving Taste During Radiation
Radiation therapy to the head and neck region is known to cause taste dysfunction. Preliminary studies showed that cooling normal structures may lower damage caused by radiation. The purpose of this research study is to see if it is feasible to use an intraoral cooling device during radiation treatments to …
