Active clinical trials for "Carcinoma, Squamous Cell"

This pilot clinical study will investigate if Zirconium-89 (89Zr) panitumumab- Positron Emission Tomography/ Magnetic Resonance Imaging (PET/MRI) imaging can more accurately determine size and location of primary tumors compared to standard of care Fludeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) -PET/MRI in newly diagnosed patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) who are undergoing surgical resection. This study is for imaging purposes only and is not a treatment study. The results of this study will not change the clinical treatment plan.

The purpose of this study is to explore the efficacy and safety of Toripalimab injection (JS001) given before and after concurrent chemoradiotherapy for locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.

Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (include nasopharyngeal carcinoma) is one of the most common malignant tumor in China, and radiotherapy is the main treatment method. Radiation-induced dermatitis is one of the most common complications of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma patients during radiotherapy. Severe radiation dermatitis will cause secondary infection, severe pain, and even lead to the interruption of radiotherapy. On the one hand, it will affect the efficacy of tumor treatment, which may affect the long-term survival of patients, and on the other hand, it will also seriously affect the quality of life of patients. Tetrahydrobiopterin（BH4）, also known as sapropterin, has been shown not only to reduce the severity of acute radiation dermatitis but also to enhance the repair of skin injury in animal experiments. It may be a new approach and method for the prevention and treatment of radiation-induced dermatitis

01.21 SiroSkin is a phase 3, double-blind, multi-centre, parallel-arm, randomised, placebo-controlled trial to evaluate the use of topical 1% sirolimus in the chemoprevention of skin cancer, versus placebo, applied every night for 6 months in solid organ transplant recipients.

This clinical trial aims to investigate the efficacy of Calcipotriol ointment combined with 5-fluorouracil cream as an immunotherapy for actinic keratosis in Organ Transplant Recipients (OTRs) before transplantation and determine whether it can prevent cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) in OTRs post-transplant.

This phase II trial studies the good and bad effects of the combination of drugs called cabozantinib and nivolumab in treating patients with melanoma or squamous cell head and neck cancer that may have spread from where it first started to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body (advanced). Cabozantinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. This trial may help doctors determine how quickly patients can be divided into groups based on biomarkers in their tumors. A biomarker is a biological molecule found in the blood, other body fluids, or in tissues that is a sign of a normal or abnormal process or a sign of a condition or disease. A biomarker may be used to see how well the body responds to a treatment for a disease or condition. The two biomarkers that this trial is studying are "tumor mutational burden" and "tumor inflammation signature." Another purpose of this trial is to help doctors learn if cabozantinib and nivolumab shrink or stabilize the cancer, and whether patients respond differently to the combination depending on the status of the biomarkers.

The study will include patients with oral cancer and healthy controls of both sexes. Subjects having any systemic diseases or other types of cancer will be excluded. All subjects will be selected from Oral Medicine Department, Faculty of Dentistry, Al Ahram Canadian University and Fayoum University. Informed consent will be obtained from all subjects enrolled in this study after explanation of the whole procedure.

The goal of this observational study is to learn about survival and prognostic factors in patients who underwent surgical treatment for primary squamous cell carcinoma of the nasal vestibule. The main questions it aims to answer are: what is the prognosis of patients affected by squamous cell carcinoma of the nasal vestibule? are there any specific factors that could influence prognosis? is it possible to elaborate a new staging system, able to overcome the limitations of the currently used ones? Data about patients, tumour and type of surgery performed will be collected. Participants will be followed-up for a minimum 6 months period after surgery.

Due to the scarcity of data on prognostic and predictive influence on CCA, epidemiological studies evaluating these factors need to be developed in patients with CCA. Therefore, the investigators want to evaluate the profile of patients in the real world and from various parts of the world, describing prognostic factors such as CD4 dosage, time of HIV infection, evaluation of viral load, diagnosis of AIDS, geographic region of diagnosis and treatment, clinical staging, medications concomitant with QRT (risk of drug interactions), comorbidities (possible impact on dose-intensity), use of HAART, time of use of HAART, radiotherapy modality (conventional 3D vs Modulated Beam Intensity [IMRT], response to Nigro vs CTII regimens, as well as comparing clinical outcomes with patients without HIV infection.

Compare patients' feelings in terms of swallowing ability assessed by the overall score of MD Anderson Dysphagia Inventory (MDADI) 2 years after starting treatment between patients who have been treated with IMRT and those who were treated by transoral surgery for a squamous cell carcinoma of the early stage oropharynx.
