Intraoperative Ansa Cervicalis Nerve (ACN) Stimulation
Recently published data suggest that stimulation of the infrahyoid strap muscles increases pharyngeal patency in patients with obstructive sleep apnea, but the innervation of these muscles by the ansa cervicalis is variable. The investigators propose a study examining the anatomic variation of the ansa cervicalis and the effect of neurostimulation …
TheraT® Vectors (Vaccines) Combined With Chemotherapy to Treat HPV16 Head and Neck Cancers
Doctors leading this study hope to learn about the safety and effectiveness of combining medications HB-201 and HB-202 (also known as TheraT® vectors) with chemotherapy using carboplatin and paclitaxel in the beginning of the study (induction) and if combining these medications can increase tumor shrinkage after therapy and reduce the …
Development and Evaluation of a Self-Management Model for Cancer Rehabilitation
Participants were primarily recruited from medical institutions, specifically targeting newly diagnosed patients with malignant tumors. They were randomly assigned to two different rehabilitation models using block randomization: the cancer self-help rehabilitation model or the conventional rehabilitation model. During the intervention period, trained oncology advanced practice nurses conducted weekly questionnaire surveys …
Pilot Study of Management of Facial Paralysis in the Oncologic Patient: Nerve Transfer Techniques to Improve Facial Function and Quality of Life
The goal of this research study is to measure changes in patients' quality of life after surgeries that affect the facial nerve, including nerve transfer as treatment for facial paralysis.
MRI - Guided Adaptive RadioTHerapy for Dysphagia in Head and Neck Cancer
Recently developed hybrid machines (MRidian®-CE approval since 2016), consisting of a linear accelerator and an integrated low-field MRI, could allow better visualization of tumor and organs at risk during patient positioning and daily treatment finally repetitive adaptation of target volumes according to changes in patient weight and tumor anatomy during …
Evaluating 111In Panitumumab for Nodal Staging in Head and Neck Cancer
This phase I trial tests the safety and effectiveness of indium In 111 panitumumab (111In-panitumumab) for identifying the first lymph nodes to which cancer has spread from the primary tumor (sentinel lymph nodes) in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) undergoing surgery. The most important factor for …
GDFT on the Postoperative Outcome in Head and Neck Cancer Surgery
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether goal-directed fluid therapy (GDFT) can improve the postoperative recovery in patients undergoing head and neck cancer surgery. It aims to answer is: • Whether GDFT can reduce the occurrence of serious postoperative complications? Researchers will compare GDFT protocol to a …
Optical Surface Guidance for External Radiotherapy of Head and Neck Cancer
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the use of surface repositioning alone, without a restraint mask, during radiotherapy sessions for patients with head and neck cancer.
Patient Education Videos to Improve Patients' Experience During Radiotherapy Treatment: a National Project
Patients often base their information on the experiences of other patients or on information they find on the internet. This information is in many cases incorrect, outdated or not applying to the patient's situation. This leads to misconceptions or inappropriate anxiety. During the intake consultation at the radiotherapy department, doctors, …
Candida Therapeutic Vaccine in Head and Neck Cancer Patients to Reduce Recurrence
This is a Phase II randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled, multi-site study of Candin. It is designed to show the efficacy and safety of a 7-dose regimen of Candin over a two-year period in terms of reducing cancer recurrence rate by comparing the recurrence rates between the Candin and the placebo …
