NCT ID NCT04185974
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a precise type of radiation called carbon ion re-radiotherapy for people whose head-and-neck cancer has returned or worsened 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 safety and quality of life compared to standard re-radiation.
