Summary

This early-phase study tested a combination of low-dose radiation, an immunotherapy drug (tislelizumab), and a targeted therapy (afatinib) given before surgery to people with head and neck cancer. The main goal was to find a safe dose and see how well the treatment shrinks tumors. Nine patients took part, and the study is now complete.
