This study looks at tissue samples from patients who had surgery for head and neck or breast cancer. Researchers want to understand how certain immune cells in the tumor might affect the cancer, which could help improve treatments in the future.
This study tests whether patients recovering from head and neck cancer surgery can safely do supervised exercise exercises at home. The program aims to help you regain strength and function during your recovery.
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 helps doctors create a personalized plan for follow-up treatment after surgery for advanced head and neck cancer. Researchers will use imaging scans and patient data to predict which patients need extra treatment and which ones can be monitored closely instead.
