Filter by:Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma accounts for ~90% of the nearly half-million annual incident cases of esophageal cancer worldwide. The high costs and invasiveness of upper endoscopy constitute a limitation in providing adequate surveillance for at-risk individuals, including those with previous head and neck cancer. The ANGELA study is a prospective evaluation of the minimally-invasive capsule-sponge device, coupled with tissue biomarkers (p53-immunohistochemistry), to detect squamous neoplasia in high-risk individuals.
The goal of this observational study is to find out if Raman Spectroscopy, a type of imaging, can be used to determine the size of skin cancer tumors. The main question it aims to answer is: -Can Raman Spectroscopy help figure out how far a tumor spreads? This study will take measurements using laser light from an experimental, handheld probe by lightly touching the skin.
Clinical research participation has historically been heavily biased toward specific demographics. This study will invite several participants to gather a wide range of information on clinical trial experiences for squamous cell carcinoma patients. The aim of the study is to identify the factors that limit the ability of a person to enroll in, as well as complete a clinical trial for treatment of squamous cell carcinoma. People with squamous cell carcinoma who are invited to take part in clinical research will benefit from the analysis of the data.
The aim of this research is to decrease the number of inadequate tumor-free margins, probably resulting in less adjuvant therapy, less local recurrences and better quality of life.
In the current protocol, application of 3D ex-vivo ultrasound, MRI, and clinical evaluation (palpation and examination) by the surgeon is proposed to analyze the margin status in tongue squamous cell carcinoma and correlate the results to the histopathology findings.
A unique approach for cancer treatment employing intratumoral diffusing alpha radiation emitter device (DaRT) as a treatment prior to additional radiation or chemo therapy.
This study investiagates deep-regional or superficial hyperthermia to enhance radiotherapy or chemoradiation in patients that suffer recurrent disease after previous radiotherapy.
The study will evaluate whether adjuvant chemo-embolization increases progression free and/or overall survival relative to standard of care radiation and chemo- and/or immunotherapy in cisplatin-ineligible head and neck cancer patients with an acceptable morbidity rate.
Afatinib is approved therapy for SCC of the lung after progression with standard of care chemotherapy. There is also evidence of improvement of progression free survival of patients with metastatic/recurrent SCC of the head and neck after failure of chemotherapy in patients treated with afatinib. Therefore, treatment of patients with these 2 conditions with afatinib is not experimental, and will follow conventional clinical management.
Does the tumor thickness value of buccal squamous cell carcinomas, predict cervical nodal metastasis in clinically and radio-graphical neck negative (N0) thus sparing such patients unnecessary surgical procedures and it's associated morbidities? The aim of the study is to evaluate the prognostic value of tumor thickness cut off 4 mm in predicting cervical nodal metastases in a population of Egyptian patients presenting with Buccal Squamous Cell Carcinoma. The hypothesis is that patients with tumor thickness less than 4 mm will present with significantly less cervical nodal metastasis.
