Filter by:The goal of this study is to determine the effectiveness of pictorial warning labels (PWLs) featuring narrative (vs. non-narrative) content in communicating the cancer risk of alcohol. Participants will be randomized to view either three narrative or non-narrative PWLs. Key outcome variables include visual attention, message reactance, risk perceptions, and intentions to reduce and stop drinking.
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.
A monocentric study to evaluate the french translation of Swallowing (SOAL-VF) Patient Reported Outcomes (PRO) after Total PharyngoLaryngectomy
The aim of this study was to determine serum levels of VEGF, sVEGFR1, VEGFR2, IGFBP-3, angiogenin and endoglin in patients with larynx squamous cell carcinoma; investigate their association with clinical parameters and determine their diagnostic and prognostic value.
Background: The investigators aimed to compare the oncological results of patients with early stage laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) treated with Transoral Laryngeal Surgery (TOLS) and Radiotheraphy (RT). Methods: The patients were divided into two groups as TOLS (Group 1) and RT (Group 2) according to the treatment method. Both groups were compared with each other in terms of local recurrence, regional recurrence, distant metastasis, 3 and 5-year overall survival, disease-free survival, disease-specific survival and laryngectomy-free survival rates. Survival analyses was made by Kaplan Meier product limit estimation. A p-value of less than 0.05 was considered as statistically significant.
The investigators compare the ease of intubation between a new ultra-thin endotracheal tube, "Tritube", and a standard endotracheal tube in patients with predictors of difficult laryngoscopy. Furthermore the investigators compare the acceptance of leaving the Tritube in trachea after end of anaesthesia, with the use of a tube exchange catheter.
Open-label, Phase I-II, first-in-human (FIH) study for A166 monotherapy in HER2-expressing or amplified patients who progressed on or did not respond to available standard therapies. Patients must have documented HER2 expression or amplification. The patient must have exhausted available standard therapies. Patients will receive study drug as a single IV infusion. Cycles will continue until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Patients diagnosed with T3/T4 laryngeal cancer in general have several treatment options available, including total laryngectomy and/or (chemo-) radition. In order to help these patients in the decision making process, MAASTRO CLINIC designed and developed a web-based decision aid tool (Treatmentchoice). The aim of this study is twofold: user-testing Treatmentchoice using a systematically development process and establish the impact of Treatmentchoice on the decision making process. The study covers 4 chronological activities: 1. assess decisional needs of patients and clinicians, 2. testing patients' and clinicians comprehensibility, acceptability and usability on the alpha-version of the tool, 3. establish the impact of Treatmentchoice on knowledge, decisional conflict and the shared decision making process, as well as the extent clinicians involve patients in decision making and 4. development of an implementation and dissemination plan for shared decision making which is based on the evaluation of barriers and facilitators for the use of patients decision aid tools in clinical practice. A mixed method will be used. It comprises structured interviews combined with think aloud and questionnaires with stakeholders involved in the whole process (patients, medical doctors, nurses, general practitioners, patient organizations, and insurance companies).
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that adaptive radiotherapy (ART) in head and neck cancer patients are comparable to historical controls in head and neck patients undergoing standard intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) without ART.
This trial is to determine what dose of a drug called AZD1775 can safely be given in combination with cisplatin before surgery and with chemo-radiotherapy after surgery in patients with Head and Neck Cancer. The Investigators will also get some preliminary information regarding the effectiveness of this combined treatment.
