Filter by:This phase II trial compares the effect of usual radiation therapy with cisplatin/carboplatin (chemoradiation) to the addition of xevinapant with chemoradiation in patients with head and neck cancer. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays, particles, or radioactive seeds to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. Cisplatin is in a class of medications known as platinum-containing compounds. It works by killing, stopping or slowing the growth of cancer cells. Carboplatin is in a class of medications known as platinum-containing compounds. It works in a way similar to the anticancer drug cisplatin, but may be better tolerated than cisplatin. Carboplatin works by killing, stopping or slowing the growth of cancer cells. Xevinapant is a first-in-class antagonist of inhibitor of apoptosis (programmed cell death) proteins (IAPs), which leads to tumor cell death and enhances tumor cell sensitivity to chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Giving xevinapant with chemoradiation may be more effective in preventing head and neck cancer from growing or spreading than chemoradiation alone.
The aim of study is to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of using mobile phone photographs versus conventional clinical examination as a screening tool for early detection of oral cancer.
Oral cancer is a fatal disease with high prevalence and poor survival rate. Most oral cancer cases can be detected by the patients themselves. So, when a patient is aware of oral caner, the patient would realize its signs and symptom and seek early medical care; therefore, improving the prognosis. To our knowledge, the level of awareness of oral cancer has not been investigated in Egyptian population. Therefore, this study is planned to be a pilot study as a first study in Egypt.
An evaluation and validation study on oral cancer screening methods will be carried out, and two different methods will be used for oral cancer screening among the population. The two different methods are: (1) clinical observation (including inspection and palpation) combined with pathological biopsy. (2) Clinical observation (including inspection and palpation), in vivo staining (toluidine blue) combined with pathological biopsy. By evaluating and comparing the sensitivity and specificity of the two screening methods, the more effective oral cancer screening method will be selected.
This study will be conducted to obtain data on oral cancer risk factors to generate machine learning models with good predictive accuracy for stratifying individuals with high-oral cancer risk and delineating high-risk and low-risk oral lesions. Likewise, this study will seek to provide oral cancer-related health education and training on oral-self-examination for beneficiaries
Periodontitis is a widely prevalent disease worldwide that has serious public health consequences. Its prognosis includes tooth loss and edentulism, a condition that negatively affects chewing causing functional disability; and esthetics causing social impairment. Consequently, periodontitis may end up causing marked impairment of the quality of life of the affected patients, impairment of general health and increasing the dental care costs significantly. Changes in the oral mucosa arise by primary products resulting from tissue breakdown due to gingivitis. It then triggers the host cells to produce proteinases that mediate loss of marginal periodontal ligaments, apical migration of the junctional epithelium and apical spread of bacterial biofilm. Therefore, this research aims to identify the risk of smoking to both periodontitis and oral cancer, and the risk of periodontitis to oral cancer.
