Transoral Endoscopic Surgery Trial (TEST): A Registry for Endoscopic Head and Neck Surgery (eHNS)


Information from medical records will be collected and entered into the registry database at
M. D. Anderson Cancer Center for future research related to cancer.

The information collected from medical records will include, but is not limited to, medical
history, sex, age, race, gender, type and stage of disease, type of treatment(s) you have
received, radiology reports, surgical and pathological reports, the results of any test(s),
treatment(s) and/or surgery performed.

This is a registry study evaluating endoscopic head and neck surgery. The data from the
surgical resection will be descriptive. Comparisons will be made to non-robotic, open
historical controls and patients treated with radiation therapy, based on literature
reports.

surgical resection of the primary tumor and who, in the opinion of the treating MDACC
physician, are candidates for eHNS will be included

oncology and anesthesia faculty (common best practice criteria).

3. Date of records anticipated to be reviewed would be from March 1, 2011 to June 30,

4. Approximately 200 patients are expected to fit the criteria above in order to be
eligible for prospective data collection and review.
