Brief Title: A Bidirectional Study in Exploring the Dynamic Changes of Plasma and Urine Metabolites of Head and Neck Cancer
Official Title: A Bidirectional Study in Exploring the Dynamic Changes of Plasma and Urine Metabolites During the Occurrence and Development of Head and Neck Cancer in Southern China
Study ID: NCT05969262
Brief Summary: Dynamic changes in the internal environment of the body are important clues for early detection, diagnosis and even cure of head and neck tumors. This project uses the combination of proteomics technology and liquid biopsy to provide more primary prevention strategies for early intervention, secondary prevention strategies for early detection and treatment, and clues for the study of the mechanism of dynamic evolution of head and neck tumors.
Detailed Description: Head and neck cancer is the seventh most common malignant tumor in the world, and China is a country with a high incidence of head and neck cancer. Dynamic changes in the internal environment of the body are important clues for early detection, diagnosis and even cure of head and neck tumors. The occurrence and development of head and neck cancer is complex, so it is particularly important to explore the changes of internal environment in its clinical pathway. Therefore, we conducted this study to investigate the changes of plasma and urine metabolites during the development of head and neck cancer. (1) Retrospective cohort: 250 patients were recruited, including 125 patients with Head and neck cancer and 125 healthy people.,(2) Prospective cohort: 250 patients were recruited, including 125 head and neck cancer patients and 125 healthy people. During the course of the study, the subjects will not be given or provided with any randomized or any treatment driven by the study protocol. If it is clinically applicable, the treatment physician shall make the treatment decision and choose the treatment plan at his discretion.
