Tiny radiation seeds aim to stop Cancer's return after surgery
NCT ID NCT02467738
Summary
This small, early-stage study tested a new approach for people whose head and neck cancer has come back and can be removed with surgery. During the operation, doctors placed tiny, permanent radioactive seeds (cesium-131) into the area where the tumor was. The goal was to see if this internal radiation could kill any leftover cancer cells to help prevent the cancer from returning and to check for any side effects from the treatment.
