Filter by:3D modeling associated with the tracking of nerve fibers meets the needs of preoperative planning for tumors and cervico-facial congenital malformations. Indeed, these lesions are closely related to the cranial nerves and in particular nerve V (infratemporal fossa), nerve VII (temporal bone, parotido-masseter region), nerves IX, X, XI, XII and the chain cervical sympathetic (infratemporal and cervical regions). The development of a model of this region will therefore improve the surgical management of these children.
This is an intervention study, aiming to use high and low dose radiotherapy combined with PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor combined with GM-CSF to observe the effect of anti-tumor immunity and long-term therapeutic response rate, and to explore a new treatment model for patients with advanced solid tumors.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test in describe participant population. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. evaluate the efficacy and safety of tislelizumab combined with APF sequential surgery or radical concurrent chemoradiotherapy in the treatment of locally advanced head and neck tumors. 2. the exploration of efficacy-related immune microenvironment genes Participants will receive tislelizumab combined with APF sequential surgery or radical concurrent chemoradiotherapy.
This is a phase 1b, multicenter, non-randomized prospective study involving an innovation phase (IDEAL-1) followed by a prospective development phase (IDEAL-2A) designed to evaluate the safety and feasibility of oral/oropharyngeal reconstruction with the external pudendal free flap in two groups of patients. A maximum of 40 patients (20 patients per group) will be included in this IDEAL-1/2A phase study. Stage IDEAL-1: Innovation phase. The main objective is to evaluate the feasibility in terms of limiting surgical complications of a STEPA flap reconstruction in two groups of patients (Cohort: Male, Female). Stage IDEAL-2A: Prospective development phase. The main objective is to describe the complication profile of the surgical procedure in these two patient populations. Each patient will be followed during 12 months after the end of complete treatment (surgery ± adjuvant treatment). A complementary study (observational study) of 250 patients will also be conducted to evaluate the acceptability of the technique (reconstruction by external pudendal flap) by the patients and to describe the factors associated with this acceptability.
The goal of this observational study is to visualize the small vessels in normal and cancerous lymph nodes on the neck with a new ultrasound technique. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Is it possible to visualize the network of the smallest vessels in lymph nodes on the neck? - Is it possible to distinguish between healthy and cancerous lymph nodes using different parameters? The participants will have 1-2 lymph nodes ultrasound scanned with a standard ultrasound technique and the new technique.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the postoperative outcomes based on superficial temporal versus cervical recipient vessels for midface and scalp advanced oncologic defects using free tissue flap for reconstruction. The main question it aims to answer is: • Which recipient vessel is most suitable for performing microanastomosis using free flaps for advanced midface and scalp oncologic defect. Participants will be undergo resection of advanced malignant tumors of the midface and scalp with subsequent oncological reconstruction using free tissue flap. Researchers will compare two groups where those in whom superficial temporal vessels will be used as the recipient vessels (group A) and those in whom cervical vessels will be used as the recipient vessels (group B) to see if there is a recipient vessel who is most suitable for performing microanastomosis using free flaps for advanced midface and scalp oncologic defect.
The objective of this study is to determine the feasibility (main aim) and effectiveness (secondary aim) of a prehabilitation program in patients with head and neck cancer or liver cancer. Participating patients will participate in a 3-to-6 week rehabilitation program consisting of training and nutritional, smoking cessation and psychosocial counselling.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effect of local food-based oral nutritional supplements (ONS) containing immunonutrients (omega-3 and anthocyanins) on nutritional status and inflammatory response in head and neck cancer patients receiving radiotherapy. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Is there any effect of local food-based oral nutritional supplements (ONS) containing immunonutrients (omega-3 and anthocyanins) on the nutritional status? - Is there any effect of local food-based oral nutritional supplements (ONS) containing immunonutrients (omega-3 and anthocyanins) on inflammatory response? Participants will participants will receive ONS in powder form ready to brew as much as 2 servings per day for 3 weeks. Researchers will compare the effect of giving ONS containing immunonutrients compared to standard ONS to see the effect on nutritional status and inflammatory response
The aim of the current study is to evaluate the effects of the Hypotension Prediction Index (HPI) on the degree of intraoperative hypotension in patients undergoing free flap surgery. The hypothesis is that implementation of the HPI algorithm will reduce the time-weighted average (TWA) intraoperative hypotension below a threshold of 65 mmHg (16), and to reveal the relationship between the episodes of hypotension and free flap viability and function.
In France, squamous cell carcinomas of the head and neck (SCCHN) are the 5th most common cancer. 60% of patients present with locally advanced tumors (stage III/IV), characterized by a poor prognosis (5-year survival not exceeding 60%). The standard treatment consists of either surgical removal followed by adjuvant radiochemotherapy or exclusive radiochemotherapy. In case of locoregional recurrence (about 40% of patients), salvage surgery can be proposed, allowing prolonged survival for less than one third of eligible patients. However, more than half of locoregional recurrences are unresectable. The standard treatment then consists of immunotherapy and/or chemotherapy for palliative purposes with a median survival of no more than 15 months. Stereotactic radiotherapy is another potentially curative option that allows a local control of 30-60% at 1 year, but at the cost of significant toxicity (up to 50% of grade 3-4 toxicities), thus limiting its indication. The issue of salvage treatment also applies to other rarer histological forms, including naso-sinus and salivary gland tumors, for which the probability of overall survival at 5 years does not exceed 65% due to locoregional evolution, despite advances in surgical techniques and the addition of radiotherapy. During the last two decades, minimally invasive interventional radiology techniques have been developed in the field of oncology. Among these techniques, cryotherapy is now commonly used for the treatment of several cancers. The multiplication of its indications is based on numerous clinical advantages (good post-operative analgesia, good toxicity profile, good tumor control). Cryotherapy could thus be a therapeutic alternative in head and neck cancers in recurrence situation in irradiated and unresectable territory, allowing to maintain a curative project in a higher proportion of patients and also to have a more favorable toxicity profile than re-irradiation.
