The primary objective of this observational study is to quantify the translation, rotation, and deformation of patient head positions of head and neck cancer patients over the course of a radiation therapy treatment for head and neck cancer. This objective will be achieved by comparing X-ray images collected during each treatment session with those obtained from the planning CT scan. Secondary objectives include (1) the use of the collected X-ray images to develop realistic artificial X-ray images where patient movement can be simulated and (2) to determine whether motion can be detected from individual X-ray images acquired during radiation therapy treatment.
Head and neck cancer is a disease that has a particular propensity for treatment-related morbidity. It is hypothesized that patients who are more involved in their care in hospital and who are actively provided with more treatment-related education may report increased satisfaction and have improved overall outcomes. The investigators aim to determine whether delivery of patient-centred education in a multimedia format via a digital platform has an impact on overall satisfaction and perceived quality of medical care.
The researchers are doing this study to collect more information about if, and how, neurocognitive function may be affected in people being treated with radiation therapy for head and neck cancer. Part of this study is to see if patients diagnosed with head and neck cancer who are undergoing radiation therapy are able to complete neurocognitive testing and questionnaires at 3 times over a period of 1 year.
The purpose of this study is to further evaluate the efficacy and safety of niraparib in patients with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors and a pathogenic or likely pathogenic tumor PALB2 (tPALB2) mutation.
This trial studies how a customized 3D-printed oral stent compares to a standard stent made by a dentist for use in imaging scans in patients with head and neck cancer receiving radiation therapy. Oral stents are designed to help prevent radiation-related side effects while receiving radiation therapy. Traditional oral stents are created by dentists, require at least 2 separate appointments, and may not be as cost-effective. A customized, 3D-printed oral stent may perform as well as a standard stent made by a dentist and have a significantly shorter turnaround to device delivery.
This study aims to evaluate if eating within an 8-10-hour window during the day, without any caloric restriction, can lead to better response rates to immunotherapy in head and neck cancer patients.
The purpose of this study is to understand how a pre-operative nutritional intervention alters the gut microbiome and improves outcomes after major head and neck cancer surgery.
This trial that is investigating a medication called duvelisib in combination with docetaxel for the treatment of squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN) that has returned or spread outside the head and neck area. The names of the study drugs involved in this study are: - Duvelisib (PI3K inhibitor) - Docetaxel chemotherapy
This study examines factors that affect how often patients who have a total laryngectomy use a ProvoxLife heat-moisture exchanger (HME) system to help improve their lung function. ProvoxLife HMEs are single use heat- and moisture exchangers for patients breathing through a tracheostoma. Information from this study may help doctors learn more about factors associated with patterns of use and how often patients use the ProvoxLife HME system.
