Impact in Head and Neck Oncology of Support by a Nurse in the Patient's Care Pathway
Head and neck cancers (HNC) constitute a significant global health burden, ranking fourth in terms of cancer incidence and fifth in terms of cancer-related mortality. The management of HNC requires a complex array of consultations, examinations, rehabilitation, and lifestyle modifications, including addiction cessation. These cancers disproportionately affect economically disadvantaged, socially …
DOsimetry and Radiation Induced NAusea in Head and Neck Cancers
This is a prospective cohort study for the analysis of correlation between dosimetric parameters and RANV (Radiation Associated Nausea and Vomiting) in patients with head and neck cancer undergoing exclusive radiotherapy (RT).

Establishment of Squamous Cell Organoids of the Head and Neck to Assess Their Response to Innovative Therapies
The emergence of tumor organoid cultures in recent years has made it possible to widen the repertoire of available preclinical tumor models and to bridge the gap between cell lines and tumors of xenografted patients in mice (PDXs).These organoids have the advantages of being able to be amplified fairly quickly …
Non-invasive Preoperative Tissue Evaluation in Head and Neck Tumor Patients Using Multispectral Optoacoustic Tomography (MSOT)
Multispectral Optoacoustic Tomography (MSOT) is a promising imaging technology that utilizes pulsed laser light. One of the key capabilities of this technology is measuring oxygenation within human tissue. This proposed study aims to investigate possible limitations of human tissue used for reconstructive surgery due to flawed tissue perfusion. Healthy volunteers …
The Effects on Auditory Function of RADiotherapy and Chemotherapy Treatments for Head and Neck Tumours (EARAD)
Radiotherapy and combined radiotherapy and chemotherapy are used to treat most tumours in the head and neck region.
