First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 24 times
Summary
This study is for people whose head and neck cancer has returned after previous radiation and who cannot have surgery. It compares two radiation techniques: a precise, short-course method (stereotactic body radiation therapy) and a standard longer-course method (intensity modulated radiation/proton therapy). The goal is to see which approach better controls the cancer while causing fewer severe side effects. About 68 participants will be enrolled.
