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 …
U87 CAR-T in Patients With Advanced Head and Neck Tumors
This is a single-arm, open-label clinical study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of U87 injection solution in patients with advanced malignant head and neck tumors.
Skeletal Muscle Mass Changes on Images for Prediction of Prognosis After Exercise Training in HNSCC Patients
This project adopts a prospective study design. It is scheduled to enroll 60 participants diagnosed with Head and Neck cancer in this hospital, of which 30 are in the experimental group and 30 are in the control group. The purpose of this research is to analyze the skeletal muscle mass …
Feasibility of Prospective Surveillance and Early Physical Therapy for Trismus
Trismus, or restricted jaw movement, can occur in individuals with head and neck cancer (HNC) undergoing surgery or radiation therapy. There is a paucity of research examining interventions for trismus. We aim to assess the feasibility of prospective surveillance and early intervention to mitigate trismus in individuals undergoing HNC treatment. …
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. Unfortunately, these treatments often result in hearing loss and tinnitus that has a negative impact on quality of life. This study will use a battery of sensitive tests, including measures of hair …
FMISO-based Adaptive Radiotherapy for Head and Neck Cancer
Hypoxia occurs in about 80% of head and neck tumors. Based on experimental and clinical data, hypoxia is a useful parameter for pretherapeutic stratification. These radioresistant regions can be detected with FMISO PET/CT. Moreover, hypoxic subvolumes of tumors can be evolving as target volumes for radiotherapy ("dose painting") in hypoxia …
MAGE-C2 TCR T Cell Trial to Treat Melanoma and Head and Neck Cancer
Single-centre, first-in-man phase I/II trial to demonstrate safety and efficacy of MAGE-C2/HLA-A2 TCR T cells (MC2 TCR T cells) in advanced melanoma (MEL) and head-and-neck carcinoma (HNSCC).
Efficacy of Botox Injection of the Masticatory Muscles in Head &Neck Cancer Patients with Trismus After Radiotherapy
Trismus is a common side effect in head and neck cancer patients after radiation therapy. This project aims to explore the therapeutic effect of Botulinum toxin (Botox) injection to the masticatory muscles in the above-mentioned patients. In this project, Botulinum toxin will be injected into the masticatory muscles (medial pterygoid …
