Study of symptoms and function after certain head and neck cancers
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study looks at how symptoms and everyday functioning change for people with cancers of the nose/sinuses, the throat behind the nose (nasopharynx), or nearby skull-base areas. It may help doctors understand what survivors experience and improve long-term care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have (or are being worked up for) a cancer of the nose/sinuses, nasopharynx, or skull-base area, confirmed by pathology or outside/MD Anderson reports.
- You have not started treatment for this cancer yet (besides a biopsy, if done).
- You plan to get most of your care at MD Anderson, including surgery and radiation.
- You can understand the study and are willing to sign written consent.

This Phase 2 study tests a treatment plan that combines immunotherapy with chemotherapy and chemoradiation for advanced squamous cell cancer in the nasal cavity or sinuses. It aims to improve cancer control in people who are newly diagnosed and have not had prior treatment for this cancer.
This study looks at how doctors manage tumors that start in the nose/sinuses and spread to the skull base. It may help improve planning of care for people with this specific type and location of tumor.
This study follows people who have sinonasal cancer and are being treated at Mayo Clinic. It looks at how patients do over time, which may help improve care for future patients.
This trial is for people with high-risk, newly diagnosed stage T3N1M0 nasopharyngeal cancer. It compares whether you need chemotherapy first (before radiation and chemotherapy together) to improve outcomes.
This study looks at “immune signals” in blood, saliva, and stool to learn more about head and neck cancers (especially squamous cell carcinoma). It may help researchers find patterns that improve understanding of disease or how treatment should be guided.
This study looks at whether surgery followed by radiation helps people with a specific type of sinus cancer called adenoid cystic carcinoma that has grown into nearby tissues. It aims to see how well this treatment works and how safe it is.
