We are proposing a randomized phase II study to assess the benefit of bilateral robot-assisted or laser basal tongue mucosectomy in combination with tonsillectomy in the assessment of prevalent cervical lymphadenopathy
Treatment summary and survivorship care plans (TSSPs) are poorly studied in Head and Neck Cancer (HNC) patients, and given the high frequency of unmet needs, this patient population has potentially the most to benefit from the implementation of TSSPs. A preliminary feasibility randomized control trial (RCT) at London Regional Cancer …
This prospective survey study investigates knowledge, attitudes, experiences, and practices related to dental care in patients with head and neck cancer among affected patients and dentists. Participants complete an anonymous online questionnaire before and after receiving written, guideline-based information. The study aims to evaluate whether targeted educational materials improve knowledge …
Radiation fibrosis syndrome (RFS) is a general side effect of radiation therapy (RT) which can adversely impact patients chronically over years typically triggered by an acute inflammatory state that evolves into chronic inflammation and tissue remodeling causing lymphedema, fibrosis, pain, atrophy and organ dysfunction. Some of the side effects that …
Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is often diagnosed at a locally advanced stage, where cisplatin-based chemoradiotherapy is standard but still results in high recurrence rates. Immunotherapy is promising for HNSCC due to its high mutational burden, and adding PD-1 inhibitors to induction chemotherapy has improved responses without added …
APAORL2 study aims to evaluate the efficacy of a physical activity program on the sedentary and physical activity level during the 18-month program. APAORL2 study is a randomized, open label, controlled, monocentric, intervention study that will be conducted among 96 patients treated for localized upper aerodigestive tract cancer.
This is a randomized controlled trial aimed to1) examine the effect of a self-administered acupressure intervention on head and neck cancer patients with xerostomia (primary outcome) relative to oral health education control; 2) examine the effect of self-administered acupressure on secondary outcomes, including quality of life and severity of symptoms …
This Phase II study, titled "A Phase II Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT) Using B10 L-BPA in Patients with Unresectable Recurrent Head and Neck Cancers," aims to assess the efficacy and safety of B10 L-BPA-based BNCT in this patient population. The primary …
Radiotherapy of head-neck cancer is associated with significant side effects. Using daily online adaptive radiotherapy to account for the changing anatomy, radiation to organs at risk can be lowered. We will investigate whether this is feasible and associated with a reduction in the risk of toxicity.
This is a feasibility trial studying anti-PD-1 therapy (Pembrolizumab) among patients with R/M HNSCC, delivered with ultrasound-induced microbubble cavitation, with the goal of optimizing delivery of Pembrolizumab and tumor response to Pembrolizumab. Patients will undergo 3 infusions of Pembrolizumab plus Definity 3 weeks apart. Following each infusion, ultrasound will be …
