Summary

This study tested a new way to give radiation therapy to people with advanced head and neck cancer. Doctors used a special MRI scan to find the toughest parts of the tumor and gave those areas a higher dose of radiation, while keeping standard doses to healthy tissues. The goal was to improve cancer control without more side effects. The study involved 106 participants and compared this approach to standard radiation.
