Summary

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