Filter by:The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of muscle energy technique versus Maitland's mobilization on shoulder pain and disability after neck dissection surgeries.
The aim of the AURACCO study is to evaluate the association between the onset of tinnitus and hearing loss in patients with locally advanced head and neck cancer treated by concomitant chemoradiotherapy or exclusive radiotherapy
The aim of this study is to evaluate the role of elective bilateral neck dissection in patients with clinically negative lymph nodes (cN0) who underwent salvage total laryngectomy, by estimating the prevalence of histologically positive occult lymph nodes (pN+). Secondary objective will be the assessment of complication rate and the evaluation of 5-year Overall Survival (OS) and 5-year Disease-Specific Survival (DSS) in these patients.
patients with locally advanced cancer of oropharynx, hypopharynx or larynx and CPS>1 will recieve 3 cycles of induction immunochemotherapy with platinum, 5-FU and pembrolizumab followed by (chemo)radiation.
This study with Chair-Based, Gantry-less Proton System (CBGS) (aka P-CURE Proton Beam Therapy System or Fixed Beam Chair-based Delivery System) is composed of 3 arms, as following: ARM1: Patients with locally recurrent, previously irradiated thoracic cancer indicated for re- irradiation. ARM2: Patients with recurrent Head and Neck, Brain and Spinal Cord tumors, indicated for re- irradiation. ARM3: Patients with unresectable pancreatic cancer. The primary objectives of the study for all arms are: 1. to describe the efficacy (local control after 3 month) and acute toxicity for patients treated with a fully-integrated CBGS and (2) to compare treatment plans between the fully-integrated CBGS and Photon therapy defined for each patient, based upon OAR sparing for comparable target coverage.
This is a phase 1b study in adult patients diagnosed with resistant or recurrent head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) designed to assess the safety and tolerability of IK-175 in combination with nivolumab. Disease response, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics, and response biomarkers will also be assessed.
The European Commission's current political guidelines demonstrate into a joint plan aimed at improving and controlling cancer disease. Head and neck cancer (HNC) are the sixth most common cancer worldwide. The surgery is one of the most effective treatments, however it significantly compromises the self-care and functional capacity of the patients, so the intervention the Rehabilitation Nurse (RN) is essential. Objective: Compare the degree of dependence in discharge from patients undergoing HNC surgery with RN intervention versus general nursing care (not RN intervention). The specific objective is to analyze the role of confounders in the effect of the RN intervention on the patient dependence. Seventy-nine patients with RN intervention who undergoing a different type of surgery (1-Neck dissection, 2-Total laryngectomy with neck dissection, 3-Pelviglossomandibulectomy with neck dissection and tracheotomy, 4-Pelviglossomandibulectomy with neck dissection, pectorals major flap and tracheotomy) and all patients who undergoing the same type of surgery without RN intervention (n=72).
Counteracting misinformation on childhood vaccines remains a priority for public health in industrialized countries. Previous research showed that misinformation-induced vaccine hesitancy particularly concerns very highly or very lowly educated parents, and, especially in Europe, specific groups of immigrants. Misinformation framing directly targets specific sub-population of parents by exploiting different cognitive biases, and specific concerns based on cultural norms: this project aims at testing the effectiveness of similar framing techniques applied to positive information on the HPV vaccine by conducting a Randomized Controlled Trial in Stockholm, Sweden. It randomizes emotionally and scientifically/statistically framed information addressing the specific concerns reported by previous literature.
To explore the use of PET/MRI in the staging and pretreatment evaluation of patients with head and neck cancer and to compare this modality to standard PET/CT imaging.
The purpose of this study is to find out whether combining the standard chemotherapy for head and neck cancer with the immunotherapy drugs cetuximab and cemiplimab (the study drug) is a safe treatment for head and neck cancer, and whether receiving this combination treatment before surgery may allow participants to forgo the standard radiation treatment after surgery.
