NCT ID NCT07057284

First seen Jan 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 19, 2026 · Updated 24 times

Summary

This study looks at dental and jaw problems in children who had proton beam therapy for head and neck cancer. Researchers will survey survivors and review dental records to see how often these side effects occur and how they relate to radiation dose. The goal is to gather information that will help design a better way to report and manage these toxicities in the future.
