Study aims to zap cancer, spare healthy tissue
NCT ID NCT04384627
Summary
This large trial is testing if doctors can safely shrink the area they target with radiation for patients with advanced nasopharyngeal cancer (a type of head and neck cancer). All patients get chemotherapy first, then are randomly assigned to have radiation aimed at either their original tumor size or their smaller tumor size after chemo. The goal is to see if the smaller target works just as well at controlling the cancer while causing fewer long-term side effects and improving quality of life.
