Patritumab with Cetuximab plus Platinum-Containing Therapy in Recurrent or Metastatic Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Head and Neck: An Open-Label, Phase Ib Study.
(AMER ASSOC CANCER RESEARCH, 2019-01-15)
PURPOSE: Patritumab plus cetuximab with platinum as first-line therapy for patients with recurrent and/or metastatic (R/M) squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN) was evaluated for safety and to determine the ...
Changes in multimodality functional imaging parameters early during chemoradiation predict treatment response in patients with locally advanced head and neck cancer.
(SPRINGER, 2018-05-01)
OBJECTIVE: To assess the optimal timing and predictive value of early intra-treatment changes in multimodality functional and molecular imaging (FMI) parameters as biomarkers for clinical remission in patients receiving ...
Development and external validation of nomograms in oropharyngeal cancer patients with known HPV-DNA status: a European Multicentre Study (OroGrams).
(SPRINGERNATURE, 2018-06-01)
BACKGROUND: The proxy marker for human papillomavirus (HPV), p16, is included in the new AJCC 8th/UICC 8th staging system, but due to incongruence between p16 status and HPV infection, single biomarker evaluation could ...
Repeatability and sensitivity of T2* measurements in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma at 3T.
(WILEY-BLACKWELL, 2016-07-01)
PURPOSE: To determine whether quantitation of T2* is sufficiently repeatable and sensitive to detect clinically relevant oxygenation levels in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) at 3T. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Ten ...
The effect of parotid gland-sparing intensity-modulated radiotherapy on salivary composition, flow rate and xerostomia measures.
(WILEY, 2017-10-01)
OBJECTIVES: To describe parotid gland (PG) saliva organic and inorganic composition and flow rate changes, after curative intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) for head and neck cancer (HNC), and analyse the relationship ...
The Predictive Value of Early Assessment After 1 Cycle of Induction Chemotherapy with 18F-FDG PET/CT and Diffusion-Weighted MRI for Response to Radical Chemoradiotherapy in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma.
(SOC NUCLEAR MEDICINE INC, 2016-12-01)
UNLABELLED: The objective of this study was to assess the predictive value of early assessment (after 1 cycle of induction chemotherapy [IC]) with 18F-FDG PET/CT and diffusion-weighted (DW) MRI for subsequent response to ...
Cutaneous head and neck melanoma in OPTiM, a randomized phase 3 trial of talimogene laherparepvec versus granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor for the treatment of unresected stage IIIB/IIIC/IV melanoma.
(WILEY, 2016-12-01)
BACKGROUND: Cutaneous head and neck melanoma has poor outcomes and limited treatment options. In OPTiM, a phase 3 study in patients with unresectable stage IIIB/IIIC/IV melanoma, intralesional administration of the oncolytic ...
Do traditional risk stratification models for cerebrovascular events apply in irradiated head and neck cancer patients?
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2015-09-01)
BACKGROUND: Primary radical radiotherapy (RT) for head and neck cancer (HNC) often results in significant radiation dose to the carotid arteries. AIM: We assessed whether HNC patients are at increased risk of a cerebrovascular ...
A randomised controlled trial of Caphosol mouthwash in management of radiation-induced mucositis in head and neck cancer.
(ELSEVIER IRELAND LTD, 2017-02-01)
PURPOSE: This phase III, non-blinded, parallel-group, randomised controlled study evaluated the efficacy of Caphosol mouthwash in the management of radiation-induced oral mucositis (OM) in patients with head and neck cancer ...
Contrast enhancement of carotid adventitial vasa vasorum as a biomarker of radiation-induced atherosclerosis.
(ELSEVIER IRELAND LTD, 2016-07-01)
PURPOSE: Abnormal proliferation of adventitial vasa vasorum (vv) occurs early at sites of atherosclerosis and is thought to be an early biomarker of vascular damage. Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) can detect this ...
