Summary

This study tests a precise type of radiation called carbon ion therapy for people whose head-and-neck cancer has returned after standard treatment. About 72 adults who cannot have surgery will receive this therapy to see if it causes fewer severe side effects and helps control the cancer longer. The goal is to improve quality of life and survival without needing lifelong medication.
