Head and Neck Carcinoma Clinical Trials & Research at Providence Medical Group
Head and neck cancers start in the tissues and organs of the head and neck
and include cancers of the larynx (voice box), throat, lips, mouth, nose,
and salivary glands. Most head and neck cancers are squamous cell carcinomas
and begin in the moist tissues that line the mouth, nose and throat. Tobacco
use, heavy alcohol use, and infection with the human papillomavirus (HPV)
increase your risk of head and neck cancer.
Providence Medical Group is currently enrolling patients for the following
head and neck carcinoma clinical trial:
A Phase III, Randomized, Open-label Study to Evaluate Pembrolizumab as
Neoadjuvant Therapy and in Combination With Standard of Care as Adjuvant
Therapy for Stage III-IVA Resectable Locoregionally Advanced Head and
Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (KEYNOTE-689)
