Novel Hypoxia Imaging for Head and Neck Cancer: Imaging Phenotype for Personalized Treatment
Tumor hypoxia is one of the physiological factors for treatment resistance and likely contributes to poor overall survival among patients with head and neck cancer (HNC). Identifying hypoxic features of HNC may allow the personalizing treatment plan. The investigators propose multiparametric Hypoxia MR (HMR) imaging using diffusion, perfusion, and oxygenation …
Newer Therapeutic Targets in Head and Neck Cancers
Based on the recently identified mutations in HNSCCs, the major pathologic pathways implicated in the tumorigenesis of HNSCC include dysregulation of four processes: cellular survival and proliferation (e.g., TP53, EGFR, MET, and PIK3CA); cell-cycle control (e.g., CDKN2A and CCND1); cellular differentiation (e.g., NOTCH1); and Adhesion and invasion signaling (e.g., FAT1).7 …
New MRI Biomarkers in Head and Neck Cancers
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a diagnostic technique that takes pictures of organs of the body. It uses magnetic fields and radio waves that cannot be felt. This makes specific organs, blood vessels, or tumors easier to see. Diffusion MRI lets us measure the motion of water in the tumor. …
NLit and Outcomes in HNC Survivor-Caregiver Dyads
The goal of this observational (cross-sectional) study is to better understand nutrition literacy in survivor-caregiver dyads and its impact on nutrition related outcomes and quality of life. We're interested in finding out how much they know about nutrition and how this might relate to their overall health, body composition, functional …
Nutritional Status of Head and Neck Cancer Patients
This study aims to monitor the nutritional status of patients with head and neck cancer undergoing radiotherapy treatment. Throughout the treatment process, patients' body composition, handgrip strength, food intake, quality of life, and treatment-related side effects will be regularly assessed. Measurements will include physical parameters like body weight, height, and …
Plasma SAA1 Levels in Predicting Response to Radiotherapy-induced Oral Mucositis
Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is the sixth most common cancer worldwide, with more than 700,000 new cases and more than 350,000 deaths each year. At present, radiotherapy is an important measure to control the recurrence of head and neck tumors, but almost all patients with head and …
Evaluation of Quality of Life and Self-assurance and Social Support Earned for Non-cellular Head Cancer
Research objectives: To evaluate the quality of life of patients before and after surgery for benign head tumors ( meningiomas) and malignant tumors at stage I, II and III, to assess whether it depends on the size of the tumor, type of tumor, malignancy and its location evaluation of the …
Arabic PRO Measures for Head and Neck Cancer Radiotherapy.
The goal of Arabic patient-reported outcome measures during radiotherapy for head and neck cancer is to test the patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) tools. PROM tools are not validated cross-culturally in Arabic-speaking patient populations, which limits their use in our clinical setting. Validation of these PROM tools will allow clinicians to …
HRQoL in Patients With Solid Tumors Treated With Hadrontherapy
The Quality of Life of patients treated with hadrontherapy is still limited. Two cohorts are established, they will be receiving specific standardized questionnaires to be evalutaed in their results.
Microbiome in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma
This study aims to determine whether dysbiosis actively contributes to HNSCC and if so, the underlying molecular mechanisms.
