Daily adjusted radiation for head and neck cancer
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This trial tests a newer, more precise way of giving daily radiation for head and neck cancer. The treatment plan is adjusted each day to better target the tumor and protect healthy tissue.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a type of head and neck cancer called squamous cell carcinoma of the throat (pharynx) or voice box (larynx)
- Your cancer has not spread to distant parts of your body (like lungs or bones)
- You have not had radiation therapy to your head or neck before
- You have not had surgery to remove your primary cancer with the goal of curing it
- You are well enough to be up and about (ECOG score 0-2)

This study tests whether giving radiation therapy after surgery, adjusted based on how your cancer responds, helps prevent it from coming back in head and neck cancer. It may help you get the right amount of radiation treatment for your specific situation.
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 daily adaptive radiotherapy technique that aims to spare the submandibular salivary glands during head and neck cancer treatment. It may help reduce dry mouth after radiation.
This trial tests whether giving a slightly different schedule of radiation (more frequent, smaller doses) can improve treatment for people with large head and neck cancers. It is for patients who are getting radiation as their main treatment, sometimes with chemotherapy as well.
This trial tests a new type of radiation therapy that adjusts during treatment for head and neck tumors. It’s for people who haven’t had cancer treatment before and are otherwise in good health.
This trial compares two ways of giving radiation therapy for head and neck cancer to see if one works as well as the other while possibly being more convenient. You'll be randomly assigned to get either a shorter course of higher-dose radiation or the standard longer course, and the study will track your quality of life during and after treatment.
