This trial is testing a new way to use radiation therapy for head and neck cancer by also looking at the bacteria in your mouth and gut. The goal is to see if adjusting the treatment based on your bacteria can improve outcomes and reduce side effects.
This trial tests a new way of giving radiation therapy, called adaptive radiation boost, for people with head and neck cancer. The goal is to see if this approach can better target the cancer and possibly improve outcomes.
This trial tests a new way to give radiation therapy for head and neck cancer. By using a special PET scan to guide where higher radiation doses are given, doctors hope to improve treatment while reducing side effects. It is for people whose cancer is not early-stage and who will receive standard radiation therapy.
This trial tests whether giving radiation therapy in a specific way (compartmentalized) after surgery for head and neck cancer is safe and effective. It is for people with certain types of head and neck cancer that have been removed, and aims to improve outcomes while managing side effects.
This trial tests a precise type of radiation called stereotactic radiosurgery for people with head or neck tumors. It may be an option for those who need radiation or chemoradiation as their main treatment or after surgery.
This trial tests a combination of radiation and heat therapy (thermoradiotherapy) for people with advanced head and neck cancer who cannot receive standard chemotherapy. The goal is to see if adding heat can make the radiation more effective.
