The Ambidirectional Cohort Study of Neurovascular Complications After Radiation Therapy in Head and Neck Cancer Patients


Sponsor

Chang Gung Memorial Hospital

Enrollment

800 participants

Start Date

Apr 11, 2022

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Summary

Head and neck cancer is a group of cancers develop from the soft tissues, salivary gland, mucosa of the upper respiratory or digestive system covering the oral and nasal cavity. Radiotherapy is usually the standard treatment of Head and neck cancers. In the present study, investigators aim to study the prevalence of cervical-cranial vascular complications during the early stages in these Head and neck cancer patients receiving Radiotherapy. Investigators will also compare the results between Nasopharyngeal cancer and other Head and neck cancerpatients receiving Radiotherapy.

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study tracks long-term brain and blood vessel (neurovascular) complications that can develop in head and neck cancer survivors after receiving radiation therapy. Researchers use brain imaging and blood vessel scans to detect problems like stroke risk, blood vessel narrowing, or cognitive decline. **You may be eligible if...** - You are 20 or older with a history of head and neck cancer - You received radiation therapy within the past 72 months (prospective group), or more than 10 years ago (retrospective group) - You have had at least one brain image and blood vessel study done since completing radiation **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You are under 20 years old - You are unwilling to sign informed consent Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.

This summary was AI-generated to explain the trial in plain language. It is not medical advice. Always discuss eligibility with your doctor before enrolling in a clinical trial.
