NCT ID NCT03491176
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether extra MRIs and blood tests can help doctors predict how head and neck tumors change during radiation therapy. Up to 100 people (80 patients and 20 healthy volunteers) will take part. The goal is to learn more about tumor growth and response, not to test a new treatment.
