First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether giving radiation along with immunotherapy before surgery works better than immunotherapy alone for people with advanced head and neck cancer. About 36 adults with treatable but advanced cancer will be split into two groups. The goal is to see if the combination leads to fewer cancer cells left after surgery.
