Active clinical trials for "Hypopharyngeal Neoplasms"

The objectives of this study are to evaluate the performance of the Medrobotics Flex® Robotic System to visualize and access specific anatomical locations along with evaluation of the safety of the device.

The purpose of this study is to determine if there is a correlation between tumor response after 3 doses of chemotherapy by induction using Docetaxel, Cisplatine and 5-Fluorouracile for advanced stage epidermoid carcinomas of the upper aero digestive tract and the presence of one or a combination of 3 genetic polymorphisms and/or 5 intra-tumoral transcriptional modifications.

To determine if MRI can detect preoperative invasion of cartilage by laryngeal and hypopharyngeal carcinoma, and to compare it to CT imaging and histopathology in excised larynges and/or hypopharynges.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between SDF-1/CXCR4 and metastasis of laryngeal and hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinomas.

Investigate the role of MMPs in the CXCL12-induced invasion of laryngeal and hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma

The purpose of this study is to investigate the role of lymphangiogenesis in the metastasis of head and neck cancer.
