Title in English |
DeintensiF: Multicenter randomized trial comparing an individualized de-intensified and conventional follow-up strategy after curative treatment in head and neck cancer |
Descpription |
This study is primarily intended to examine the difference between individualized follow-up care with increased patient involvement and reduced standard controls and conventional standard follow-up care in patients with moderately to severely advanced head and neck cancer from 6 months after complete treatment Cure-oriented treatment and complete clinical and imaging disappearance of the tumor. |

Flüssige Biopsien für die Nachsorge der Patienten mit Kopf- und Halskrebs |
Title in English |
Circulating Biomarkers to Monitor Therapeutic Response of Head and Neck Cancer |
Description |
With this research project we would like to determine the diagnostic value of so-called liquid biopsies in the context of tumor follow-up for patients with head and neck cancer. A liquid biopsy is used to obtain information about cancer from a blood sample. Above all, we would like to know whether it is possible to examine and monitor the disease using liquid biopsy-based methods. In the future, liquid biopsy could potentially also be used for early detection of cancer and cancer relapses. |
So far, liquid biopsy-based tests have mostly been experimental and not standard procedures. They should therefore be used in clinical studies. To achieve this goal, we will compare the analyzes of the liquid biopsies with the results of the imaging and, if necessary, the tissue samples. This pilot study will only be carried out in the Inselspital and we would like to recruit around 30 patients in the first phase. |

Description |
In this project, the collected biological material will be examined in order to gain further knowledge in the area of the cause, detection and treatment of tumor diseases in the head and neck area. The biological material obtained in this way is linked to the associated personal and treatment data. |

Untersuchung von Strahlungstherapie-assoziierten Speichel- und Geschmacks- veränderungen bei Kopf-Hals-Tumorpatienten |
Title in English |
Therapy-Associated Saliva and Taste change Evaluation (TASTE) in head and neck cancer patients undergoing radiotherapy |
Description |
Geschmacksveränderungen sind eine häufige Begleiterscheinung unter Bestrahlung bei Kopf-Hals-Tumorpatienten, welche auch nach Ende der Therapie in vielen Fällen weiter fortbestehen. Die genauen Ursachen dieser Geschmacksveränderungen sind allerdings weiter unklar. In unserem Forschungsvorhaben wollen wir daher herausfinden, inwiefern eine Strahlentherapie und die damit verbundenen Speichelveränderungen Einfluss auf den Geschmacksinn haben. |

The Voice as a tool to Detect recurrence of laryngeal and hypopharyngeal cancer - a feasibility study |
Description |
The aim of this research project is to examine the feasibility of long-term, regular voice monitoring in laryngeal and hypopharyngeal cancer patients, particularly with regard to their follow-up adherence. All patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the larynx/hypopharynx (exclusively after total laryngectomy) who have successfully completed primary curative treatment 6-30 months ago will receive three-monthly voice recordings and fiber endoscopic examinations (examination using a flexible camera) over a period of at least six months. carried out. In addition, a subjective assessment of the patient's own voice problems is carried out at each study visit using the Voice Handicap Index 30 questionnaire. Ultimately, it is about determining and analyzing intra-individual voice changes, i.e. voice changes in patients over time, and correlating these objective voice changes with the subjective voice changes (questionnaire) and the clinical changes in the larynx/hypopharynx (flexible camera examination). |

Title in English |
VoiceS: Voice Quality after Transoral CO2-Laser Surgery versus Single Vocal Cord Irradiation for Unilateral Stage 0 & I Glottic Larynx Cancer – A Randomized Phase III Trial |
Description |
There are two equivalent treatment options for early-stage vocal fold carcinoma: endoscopic laser surgery or radiation therapy. According to medical literature, both treatment options show comparable results in terms of chances of curing the tumor and voice quality. However, all studies conducted and published to date have been carried out using less than ideal methodology. Patients who were evaluated in these studies either actively decided on one of the two types of therapy themselves or their “correct” treatment was given to them by the treating physicians. |
Our study focuses primarily on long-term voice quality. As part of this study, the type of therapy for each patient (surgery or radiotherapy) is determined not by the doctors or the patients themselves, but by a random generator using a computer program. This results in a study with greater scientific validity. |
|
Today, surgical and radiotherapeutic treatments are carried out using the most modern organ-preserving techniques and are regularly checked for quality. The biostatistical calculations carried out in advance show that 34 patients are needed to complete the study successfully and with a sufficiently high level of significance. In each canton in which the study is carried out, a review is carried out by the responsible ethics committee. |
