Prospective Registry of Prosthodontic Rehabilitation in Oncology Patients Undergoing Jaw Reconstruction
The investigators aim to develop a prospective database in which patient demographics, surgical, dental, prosthetic and QOL parameters collected during consecutive visits within the framework of routine practice, are being registered for each oncological patient eligible for (immediate/delayed) fixed prosthodontic rehabilitation at time of oral cavity reconstruction
Apixaban or Enoxaparin After Head and Neck Cancer Surgery
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if apixaban (a pill) is a safe and easier alternative to taking enoxaparin (a daily shot) to prevent blood clots after head and neck cancer surgery. It will also learn about side effects of both medicines. The main questions it aims …
Psychological and Psychiatric prOfile in Glioblastoma and Head and Neck Cancer
Approximately 30% of cancer patients may experience psychopathological disorders. The most common psychopathological disorders in cancer patients are mood disorders, anxiety, depression, adjustment disorders, and suicidal ideation. Among depressive disorders, mixed depression, with the simultaneous presence of symptoms of both depressive and manic polarity, is associated to higher levels of …
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 …
Simultaneous Integrated Boost in Carbon Ion Radiotherapy for Head and Neck Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma
The investigators aim at investigating in a prospective clinical trial whether using a Simoultaneous Integrated Boost of carbon ions treatment planning approach, improving the tumor dose conformation while lowering the unintended dose to the low-risk volume, can significantly reduce the probability of toxicity without affecting Local Control.
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 …
Tongue Proactive Strengthening Exercise Program Following Partial/Hemi Glossectomy and Reconstruction
This study is being done to determine whether adding a proactive tongue strengthening exercise program using a biofeedback device (the Tongueometer) improves speech and swallowing outcomes after surgery for tongue cancer. Patients who undergo partial or hemiglossectomy often experience difficulties with speech and swallowing, which can significantly impact their quality …
