SNAP support tool for head and neck cancer survivors and caregivers
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This trial tests a “SNAP” support tool designed for people who have head and neck cancer and the caregiver who helps them. It aims to improve support and coping during and after cancer treatment by involving both the survivor and their main support person.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be older than 18 years
- Have head and neck cancer that has not spread to distant parts (stage I–IV, non-metastatic)
- Be currently receiving radiation treatment with the goal of cure (with or without surgery or chemotherapy)
- Have a caregiver (your main support person) who is also willing to take part
- You and your caregiver must be able to read and understand English
- You must be able to complete interview questions (no significant memory/thinking problems, as decided by your care team)

This trial tests whether adding “paramedical” support (extra practical health help) for caregivers improves care after a patient has curative surgery for certain head and neck cancers. It’s designed for patient–caregiver pairs and may help families during the stressful period around surgery and follow-up treatment.
This study tests a digital tool called MyCareGorithm that helps patients understand their cancer treatment plans. It is for people with head and neck or prostate cancer, their caregivers, and their doctors.
This trial tests a new program to help people who finished treatment for head and neck cancer stay on track with follow-up care. You may be able to join if you completed treatment 3 to 6 months ago and your cancer has not spread.
This study looks at how nutrition literacy (understanding food and diet) affects health outcomes for head and neck cancer survivors and their caregivers. If you are a survivor who finished treatment 6 months to 4 years ago and can eat by mouth, you and your caregiver may be able to join.
This study tests a cooking and nutrition program for prostate cancer survivors and their caregivers. It aims to help them eat more fruits and vegetables and support healthy habits together.
This trial tests a navigation program (help from a care coordinator) versus usual care to help people start the recommended “next-step” treatments (like radiation, sometimes with chemo) on time after surgery. It’s for certain stages of squamous cell cancer in the head and neck area where late treatment could matter.
