NCT ID NCT04671940
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how head and neck cancer cells change after radiation treatment. Researchers will collect tissue and blood samples from 20 adults who had radiation before and are now having robotic surgery for new or returning tumors. The goal is to understand why some cancers resist radiation, which could lead to better treatments in the future.
