Filter by:Implementing a multiphasic, multimodal prehabilitation intervention for people undergoing surgery with free flap reconstruction for the treatment of head and neck cancer.
To clinically validate whether SW-IMRT actually reduce the occurrence of swallowing dysfunction as compared to ST-IMRT.
The study will evaluate whether adjuvant chemo-embolization increases progression free and/or overall survival relative to standard of care radiation and chemo- and/or immunotherapy in cisplatin-ineligible head and neck cancer patients with an acceptable morbidity rate.
Acute radiodermatitis (ARD) is a distressing and painful skin reaction that occurs in 95% of the patients undergoing radiotherapy (RT). To date, there is still no general approved guideline for the prevention and management of acute radiodermatitis. The 3M™ Cavilon™ Advanced Skin Protectant is a novel skin barrier protectant that acts as a physical barrier against abrasion, moisture, and irritants. Moreover, it enables an environment for wound healing. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of 3M™ Cavilon™ Advanced Skin Protectant in the prevention and management of ARD in patients with head and neck cancer.
This study is a phase I safety and feasibility study to treat head and neck cancer patients with autologous salivary gland stem cell transplantation after postoperative (chemo)radiotherapy.
This study wants to focus on Carcinoma detection rates with blue laser imaging (BLI) for participants with head-neck cancer who need a percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG). BLI is a new imaging technique that can easily be used within a standard gastroscopy.
This is Pilot study that investigates the CBCT(Cone beam computed tomography) image quality improvement provided by the 2D antiscatter grid technology. The primary objective is to assess the improvement in tissue visualization in an observer study, which will be conducted in a blinded fashion.
The LIFTING trial will examine the feasibility and safety of a heavy lifting strength training (HLST) program in head and neck cancer survivors (HNCS) at least 1 years post surgical neck dissection. The trial will determine whether this training style is safe and feasible in HNCS. Physical and psychosocial changes will also be reported.
Head and neck cancer survivors and their primary caregivers (N=25 dyads) will be enrolled to pilot test a nutrition support system with a care planning clinic visit and a caregiver mobile App. Participants will be asked to complete baseline and 6-week follow-up surveys. The clinic session (offered in person or remotely) will include a needs assessment and a tailored care plan with information, educational materials and referrals about participants' symptoms, behaviors, social concerns and caregiving tasks. After the visit, the program will provide an App for caregivers with follow-up resources and mobile support for one month.
This is a master protocol for a prospective Phase I-II study evaluating feasibility and efficacy of incorporating magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) simulation into the planning of radiation treatments.
