Summary

This study used a special full-body PET scanner to watch how a radioactive sugar moves through head and neck cancer and radiation-caused inflammation over time. Seven adults with stage II-IVa oral cancer took part after completing radiation therapy. The goal was to learn more about how cancer and inflammation respond to treatment, not to test a new therapy.
