Cancer treatment in one week? study tests faster radiation

NCT ID NCT05120947

Summary

This study aimed to find out if a much shorter course of radiation therapy could be safely given after surgery for head and neck cancer. It tested reducing treatment from the standard six weeks down to just one week for 18 patients. The main goal was to check if the shorter treatment caused unacceptable side effects while still aiming to control the cancer.
