melatonin and Squamous Cell Carcinoma of Head and Neck

melatonin has been researched along with Squamous Cell Carcinoma of Head and Neck in 16 studies

Squamous Cell Carcinoma of Head and Neck: The most common type of head and neck carcinoma that originates from cells on the surface of the NASAL CAVITY; MOUTH; PARANASAL SINUSES, SALIVARY GLANDS, and LARYNX. Mutations in TNFRSF10B, PTEN, and ING1 genes are associated with this cancer.

Trial Outcomes

Change in Expression of CD133 as Measured by qRT-PCR Absolute Quantification

Expression of CD133 is measured at the initial period of the study (baseline) and after 3 neoadjuvant chemotherapy cycles are completed using qRT-PCR Absolute Quantification. Change was calculated from two time points as the value at the later time point minus the value at the earlier time point. (NCT04137627)
