Could your Mouth's bacteria hold the key to better cancer treatment?

NCT ID NCT07253402

Summary

This study aims to understand if the bacteria in a patient's mouth influence how well radiation therapy works for head and neck cancer and how severe the side effects are. Researchers will collect saliva samples from about 100 patients before, during, and after their radiation treatment to analyze the bacteria. The goal is to gather knowledge that could one day help personalize cancer treatment to be more effective and cause fewer painful mouth sores.
