Scientists test 3-Week cancer zap to cut treatment time in half
NCT ID NCT04580446
Summary
This study tested a shorter, more intense 3-week radiation schedule combined with chemotherapy for people with a specific type of throat cancer linked to HPV. The goal was to see if this faster approach was safe and could control the cancer as well as the standard 7-week treatment. It involved 24 participants with early-stage cancer who were light smokers or non-smokers.
