Three-Pronged attack tested to stop aggressive head and neck cancer

NCT ID NCT00875849

Summary

This study tested a combination treatment to prevent cancer from coming back in patients with high-risk head and neck cancer who had already undergone surgery. It combined radiation therapy, a standard chemotherapy drug (cisplatin), and a newer targeted drug (cetuximab). The main goal was to see if this intensive approach could keep patients cancer-free for at least two years after their surgery.
