Old drug gets new look as last hope for tough head & neck cancers

NCT ID NCT02369458

Summary

This study tested whether an older chemotherapy drug called mitomycin C could help control advanced head and neck cancer that had grown despite all standard treatments. It involved 48 adults whose cancer had spread or returned and was no longer responding to common therapies. The goal was to see if this drug could shrink tumors or slow the cancer's growth in these difficult-to-treat cases.
