Brief Title: Do Markers of Systemic Inflammatory Response and Tumor Metabolism Indicate Radioresistance in Head and Neck Cancer?
Official Title: Do Markers of Systemic Inflammatory Response and Tumor Metabolism Indicate Radioresistance in Head and Neck Cancer?
Study ID: NCT05217212
Brief Summary: The aim of the study is to prospectively evaluate whether markers of a patient's systemic inflammatory response in addition to FDG-PET/CT metabolic parameters of the primary tumor or of nodal metastases can predict radioresistance and survival before primary radiochemotherapy in advanced head and neck cancer patients.
Detailed Description: This study prospectively investigates pretherapeutic markers of systemic inflammatory response (including neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio, lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio, systemic inflammation response index, and systemic immune-inflammation) and FDG-PET/CT-derived metabolic parameters of tumor and nodal metastases (including maximum standardized uptake value, metabolic tumor volume, and total lesion glycolysis) and their potential prognostic value in head and neck cancer patients prior to primary radiochemotherapy.
