Filter by:In this study, participants with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma will receive preoperative chemoradiotherapy with paclitaxel,carboplatin and pembrolizumab then undergo surgery. The primary study hypothesis is that adding pembrolizumab will increase complete pathologic response rate at surgery.
The purpose of this study is to finalize development of a questionnaire that measures health-related symptoms and concerns for persons diagnosed with, and either treated or monitored for, anal pre-cancer lesions.
This phase II trial studies how well pembrolizumab and palliative radiation therapy works in treating patients with esophagus, stomach, or gastroesophageal junction cancer that has spread to other parts of the body. Monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Palliative radiation therapy, such as external beam radiation therapy, uses high energy beams to treat symptoms that are caused by tumors. Giving pembrolizumab together with palliative radiation therapy may work better in treating patients with esophagus, stomach, or gastroesophageal junction cancer that has spread to other parts of the body.
This pilot clinical trial studies how well durvalumab before surgery works in treating patients with oral cavity or oropharynx cancer. Monoclonal antibodies, such as durvalumab, may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread.
A study in patients with metastatic or recurrent squamous cell cancer of the head and neck to evaluate the effectiveness of Nivolumab plus Ipilumumab vs. Nivolumab alone (CheckMate 714)
Investigators will determine whether a treatment paradigm of up-front neck dissection, to more accurately pathologically stage patients, minimizing the number of treatment modalities in patients with low risk oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma, can improve quality of life.
Concomitant chemoradiotherapy improves overall survival in patients with locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (LA-HNSCC) compared to radiotherapy alone. Cisplatin 100 mg/m2 at day 1, 22 and 43 is widely used but results in considerable acute and late toxicity. Three cycles of carboplatin plus 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) is an accepted alternative but both chemotherapy regimens have not been compared prospectively. The aim of this study is to compare tolerability, efficacy, toxicity and quality of life in patients with LA-HNSCC treated with concomitant cisplatin and carboplatin plus 5-FU.
This is a non-randomized, phase II, open label study of postoperative concurrent chemoradiotherapy with docetaxel for high-risk squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck(HNSCC).The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of concurrent chemoradiotherapy with docetaxel in HNSCC patients.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of pembrolizumab when given together with cisplatin and intensity-modulated radiation therapy, in treating patients with stage III-IV squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck. Monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may block tumor growth in different ways by targeting certain cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cisplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Intensity-modulated radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Giving pembrolizumab with cisplatin and intensity-modulated radiation therapy may work better in treating patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck.
The purpose of this study is to compare two different brachytherapy treatment option in locally advanced carcinoma of uterine cervix. Brachytherapy of two fractions of 9 Gy is effective in locoregional control and more convenient in terms of cost and time than 7 Gy brachytherapy of 3 fractions in management of locally advanced carcinoma of cervix.
