HYPORT: A Phase I/II Study of Hypofractionated Post-operative Radiation Therapy for Head and Neck Cancer
There is a strong radiobiological and economic rationale for hypofractionated radiation therapy in head and neck cancer. Phase 1 of the trial aims to assess the acute toxicity and tolerability of hypofractionated radiation therapy in the post-operative setting, and to determine the dose/fractionation for Phase 2.

Cetuximab Therapeutic Drug Monitoring in Squamous Cell Carcinoma Head and Neck Cancer Patients: Determination of the Predictive Value Exposure Levels Through a Single Arm Multicentric Study
Only about 30 percent of cancer patients have a clinical benefit upon cetuximab administration. Pilot studies in colorectal and head and neck cancer patients have suggested that cetuximab pharmacokinetics (PK), i.e. clearance values, could impact on clinical outcomes such as survival.

A Comparison Between Ivor-Lewis and McKeown Minimally Invasive Esophagectomy
Surgery is still the main treatment for esophageal cancer, however, the complication and mortality rate of open esophagectomy is high. As a result, the thoracoscopic- laparoscopic minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE) was developed. The MIE mainly comprised two surgical approaches MIE McKeown approach (cervical anastomosis) and MIE Ivor-Lewis approach (intrathoracicanastomosis). The …
