Filter by:The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of adding omega 3 and dipeptiven to standard feeding in head and neck patients who will undergo oral cavity tumour resection or mandibular tumour resection (immunonutrrition mixture) on wound infection, fistula formation and length of hospital stay ,total dose of intraoperative and postoperative opioids (opioid consumption and pain incidence ,mortality and other postoperative complications as urinary tract infection (UTI) and pneumonia.
To evaluate the use of Purabond® in transoral resections of primary oral or oropharyngeal lesions for diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. Patients will be enrolled and randomised to either have PuraBond® applied to the surgical field or not intra operatively. The primary outcome measure will assess if this intervention significantly reduces acute pain during the 30 day post-operative period alongside other post-operative complication rates and recovery outcomes.
In squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue, complete surgical resection of the tumor generally represents the primary treatment strategy. Among factors determining the disease prognostic, the surgical margins status is essential for the continued management of the patient, with or without complementary therapies. Generally, surgical margins are defined using visual and tactile elements. Unfortunately, in 15 to 30 percent of cases, they are defined as positive after histopathological examination, on average 5 to 7 days post-surgery. Techniques have recently been developed to analyze the cancerous and non-cancerous nature of tissues, using the spectral properties of tumor cells. SpiderMass™ is an instrument equipped with a probe for tissue micro-sampling and real-time molecular profile analysis. It is thus ultimately a tool for anatomopathological decision support, for diagnosis and prognosis of the disease. Used in the operating room, SpiderMass™ could also become an innovative surgical tool to precisely define cancerous areas in situ and the margins status in intraoperative conditions. Based on the principle of artificial intelligence, the SpiderMass™ machine must initially learn to recognize pathological tissues versus healthy. This project aims to accomplish this first phase of machine learning for squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue.
This study conducted to determine the effects of two oral care protocols containing sodium bicarbonate or saline solution in the prevention of oral mucositis (OM), mucositis degree, and recovery time in children with cancer.
This pilot clinical trial studies how well metformin hydrochloride works in affecting cytokines and exosomes in patients with head and neck cancer. Metformin hydrochloride may reduce the metabolic activity of cancer cells and of surrounding supportive tissues.
This randomized phase II trial studies how well metformin hydrochloride and doxycycline work in treating patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma that can be removed by surgery. Metformin hydrochloride may reduce the metabolic activity of cancer cells and of surrounding supportive tissue. Doxycycline may minimize toxic side effects of anti-cancer therapy. Giving metformin hydrochloride and doxycycline may work better in treating patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.
The use of bisphosphonates during childhood to ameliorate the skeletal abnormalities associated with osteogenesis imperfecta, idiopathic juvenile osteoporosis, fibrous dysplasia of bone and cerebral palsy. There is paucity of long-term studies among children regarding the safety and efficacy of bisphosphonates. Osteomyelitis and necrosis of the jaws has been was discovered and reported as a serious adverse event in bisphosphonate-treated adults patients. To our knowledge, there is no report in the literature about osteomyelitis in children treated with bisphosphonates and the influence of long term treatment with bisphosphonates on children's jaws, the reaction to extractions and on the oral cavity. Aim of the study: to examine the influence in the oral cavity of bisphosphonate in children
The purpose of this study is to confirm the value of concurrent chemoradiotherapy in improving the locoregional control and survival of patients with resected locally advanced HNSCC, a phase III randomized study is proposed. The population studied in this trial is limited to patients of oral cavity cancer; this could reduce the confounding factor of varying prognosis in patients of different primary sites of HNSCC.
The purpose of this study is to study the effect of 13-cis retinoic acid in preventing second primary malignancy in the oral cavity cancer patients after curative local treatment and to study the toxicity and compliance of 13-cis retinoic acid.
