Prognostic Markers for a Better Follow-up in Head and Neck Cancer.
To identify tumor specific DNA mutations and aberrations and to follow these in blood over time to predict treatment response/survival and secondly to correlate presence of these markers in blood to pathological parameters (LVI, Pn, WPOI and margins), radiological findings and to tumor stage.
Identification of Predictive Factors for the Response to Anti-Programmed Cell Death Protein 1 (PD1) Immunotherapy in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma
This project aims to organise the sampling of blood and tumor at key points of the standard of care of patients with recurrent or metastatic squamous-cell carcinoma of the head and neck (HNSCC). This will allow to identify new potential predictive biomarkers of efficacy of immunotherapy and to investigate the …
Single and Combined Modality Trans-Oral Robotic Surgery in Early Oropharyngeal Cancer
Multi-centre retrospective observational cohort study with optional exploratory radiomic study (international) and prospective molecular analysis studies (UK only).
Plasma Calcitonin Gene-Related Peptide (CGRP) Levels in Patients With Head and Neck Malignancies Undergoing Radiotherapy
This prospective study investigates the dynamic changes in plasma calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) levels during radiotherapy and their association with radiotherapy-related pain in patients with head and neck malignancies.
Therapy-Associated Saliva and Taste Change Evaluation (TASTE) in Head & Neck Cancer Patients Undergoing Radiotherapy
One of the main side effects of radiation therapy to the head and neck region is altered taste sensation. This causes significant morbidity and has profound effects on the quality of life (QoL) of patients. While radiation-associated toxicities like xerostomia and dysphagia are part of large investigations, data on taste …
Head and Neck Advanced Research for Multi-Omics and Optimized Immunotherapy
Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma is a heterogeneous cancer with varying prognoses depending on anatomical location and characteristics, and advanced cancers have a poor prognosis. This study aimed to examine changes in the tumor microenvironment and systemic immune system before and after combination therapy with immune checkpoint inhibitors, the …
Head and Neck Cancer Omics/Integrated Precision Medicine (HOPE)
Study Background and Rationale Head and neck cancer (HNC) is the sixth leading cause of cancer-related death, with over 650,000 new cases diagnosed worldwide each year. About 60% of patients are diagnosed at an advanced stage, and many experience recurrence or spread despite surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy. Major risk factors …
Profiling and Targeting Epigenetic Marks to Improve Diagnosis and Therapeutic Approaches in Head and Neck Cancer
Investigators have recently shown that epigenetic remodelling enzymes, such as HDAC inhibitors, are feasible drugs in HNC (8, 9). Preliminary data are indicating some deregulated epigenetics marks suggesting the corresponding histone modifiers as possible targets for the treatment of HNC, providing an attractive and feasible option to build upon. Our …
Exploratory Study of Clonal Evolution in Cancer for Patients Undergoing Transoral Robotic Surgery for Radiation Exposed Residual/reCurrent Tumours of the Upper Aerodigestive Tract
Radical radiotherapy for head and neck squamous cell cancer (HNSCC) can be administered to primary disease with curative intent. Residual disease, recurrence or further tumours may subsequently occur in this irradiated field. It is unknown whether these cancers reflect primary resistance or represent the evolution of resistance on treatment. Understanding …
The RESCUE Study: Survival and Functional Outcomes Following Salvage Surgery for RESidual or reCurrent sqUamous cEll Carcinoma of the Head and Neck
The RESCUE study is a combined retrospective and prospective multicentre cohort study investigating the survival and functional outcomes in patients undergoing salvage surgery for recurrent, residual, and new primary head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). Additionally, the RESCUE study will contain an exploratory molecular analysis of consenting patients to …
