Scientists test faster radiation blitz before cancer surgery
NCT ID NCT05538533
Summary
This early-stage study is testing the safety of a much shorter, more intense course of radiation given before surgery for certain head and neck cancers. The goal is to see if delivering the radiation in just 5 to 10 visits over 1-2 weeks is as safe as the standard 30-visit schedule. About 12 patients with specific types of HPV-negative head and neck cancer will receive this condensed radiation, followed by surgery 6-8 weeks later.
