Study for nervous system problems after radiation therapy

This study checks how people’s thinking and brain functioning change while they are getting radiation therapy for head and neck cancer. It uses simple computer tests and questionnaires to better understand who may be at risk for trouble thinking during treatment.

This study looks at immune system signals in your blood during and after postoperative radiation therapy for certain head and neck cancers involving the brain or skull base. Researchers want to see whether these “immune markers” relate to treatment response or side effects.

This study looks at chemotherapy-related nerve damage (often felt as numbness, tingling, or pain) and why it happens and should matter. You may be eligible if you had a normal nerve check before chemotherapy started, or if your nerve symptoms are stable after finishing treatment.

This study looks at long-term effects of radiation therapy on the brain and blood vessels in people who have had head and neck cancer. It aims to understand how radiation may affect your health years later.

This study looks at how radiation treatment effects and measurements can change within a treatment session and across different sessions. It may help doctors improve how radiation therapy is planned and delivered.

This study follows patients who have received radiation therapy to learn about long-term health effects and how the disease progresses over time. By tracking your health over the years, researchers hope to better understand and help future patients manage side effects.
