This study helps people who come to the emergency room with signs of head and neck cancer get connected to specialist care quickly. It tests a program that checks on you after you leave the hospital and guides you through next steps.
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.
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 study tests whether an online support group can help people with head and neck cancer feel better during and after their radiation treatment. You would participate in a shared online community and complete questionnaires about your well-being.
This study tests whether a virtual reality (3D computer) model of surgery can help surgeons improve how head and neck cancer operations are planned and done. You may benefit from more personalized surgical planning, if you’re eligible for standard surgery.
This trial tests a digital education program for patients with colon or rectal cancer who are scheduled for surgery. It aims to see if online learning helps people better prepare for their operation and recovery.
