Summary

This study tests whether adding a special heat treatment (water-filtered infrared-A, or wIRA) to standard palliative radiation can help shrink tumors and ease symptoms in people with advanced head, neck, or skin cancers that cannot be cured. About 60 adults will receive the combination therapy at a UK cancer center. The goal is to see if this heat boost is practical and safe in a real-world hospital setting.
