Filter by:This is a multicentrer, randomized Bayesian Phase II trial for patients with early stage (T1N0) glottic squamous cell carcinoma treated with radical radiotherapy. The primary objective is to assess the non-inferiority of local control achieved with vocal-cord only radiotherapy (VC-RT) compared to complete larynx radiotherapy (CL-RT) in T1N0 glottic laryngeal squamous cell cancer, measured at 2-years after treatment. Secondary outcomes include overall survival, as well as voice impairment, dysphagia and quality of life, measured respectively by the voice handicap index -10 (VHI-10), the MD Anderson Dysphagia Inventory (MDADI) and the MD Anderson Symptom Inventory- Head and Neck module (MDASI-HN). Patients will be randomized in a 1:3 ratio to CL-RT (39 patients) and VC-RT (116 patients) arms. There will be stratification by tumor stage (T1a/T1b) and by institution. An interim analysis is planned after the first 55 patients enrolled on the experimental arm have a 6-month follow-up.
Advanced laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) remains a highly morbid and fatal disease despite aggressive interventions. Mortality is high in this cohort: laryngeal cancer affects over 13 000 patients in the United States, with over 3500 deaths annually.The results of the Veterans Affairs Cooperative Studies Program Laryngeal Cancer Trial and subsequent studies demonstrated similar overall survival (OS) rates for organ preservation protocols involving radiotherapy (RT) or chemoradiotherapy (CRT) when compared to surgery, with the benefit of preserving the larynx in a large majority of patients. As such, the use of RT or CRT has become the predominant initial intervention for patients with laryngeal SCC.However, the prognosis of recurrent and persistent laryngeal SCC is particularly dire.In this study,the investigators sought to identify preoperative predictors of survival for patients with recurrent or persistent laryngeal SCC in order to set patient expectations and address modifiable risk factors. Identification of predictors of survival may also identify patients who could benefit from novel therapeutic agents in a neo/adjuvant fashion. Herein,we examine a cohort of patients with recurrent or persistent laryngeal SCC after definitive RT/CRT who has undergone total laryngectomy in order to identify potential preoperative predictors of clinical outcomes.

International registry for cancer patients evaluating the feasibility and clinical utility of an Artificial Intelligence-based precision oncology clinical trial matching tool, powered by a virtual tumor boards (VTB) program, and its clinical impact on pts with advanced cancer to facilitate clinical trial enrollment (CTE), as well as the financial impact, and potential outcomes of the intervention.
Supraglottic laryngeal carcinoma patients with clinically negative neck (cN0) will be randomized divided into two groups. Patients in case group will undergo unilateral neck dissection (II-IV) while bilateral neck dissection (II-IV) in control group. Regional control rate is the primary endpoint and comparison will be made to see if unilateral dissection can get similar regional control as control group.
To find the highest tolerable dose of stereotactic hypofractionated radioablation (HYDRA) radiation that can be given to patients with laryngeal cancer. The safety of this radiation will also be studied.
This study is being conducted at Healthcare Global Enterprises Ltd to evaluate the role of a novel Tracheo-Esophageal voice Prosthesis for total laryngectomy +/- partial pharyngectomy patients. 30 patients will be enrolled as an inpatient or outpatient. Patients who are planned to undergo total laryngectomy +/- pharyngectomy surgery and trachea-esophageal puncture procedure.(for primary TEP insertion) or patients who have undergone total laryngectomy > 6weeks prior and are suitable candidates for secondary TEP insertion would be recruited to the study. Insertion of the TEP will be done in primary setting or secondary setting. Patients, who are undergoing primary TEP insertion, will be evaluated for speech/ voice at an interval of 6 weeks, 12 weeks and 6 months after the procedure. Patients who are undergoing secondary TEP insertion to be evaluated on the same day of the procedure along with evaluation at an interval of 6 weeks, 12 weeks and 6 months. All the patients will be evaluated clinically for a fluid leak (through and around the TEP) on the same days of voice analysis by giving test feeds under supervision.
This trial uses blood tests and questionnaires to study how well participants with head and neck cancer that has spread to other places in the body adhere to swallowing exercises to prevent future disease. Using blood tests to study cytokines (proteins related to the immune system) may help doctors learn if certain levels of cytokines affect whether or not side effects occur and if they put participants at risk for future disease. Questionnaires may help doctors learn about the reasons head and neck cancer participants may or may not follow the swallowing exercises that they are asked to perform after receiving radiation treatments.
This phase II trial studies how well radiation therapy with or without cisplatin works in treating patients with stage III-IVA squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck who have undergone surgery. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. 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. It is not yet known if radiation therapy is more effective with or without cisplatin in treating patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck.
