Clinical Trial: REPROton-HN: Prospective Observational Study on Proton Re-irradiation for Locoregional Recurrences of Head and Neck Tumors

U.S., June 10 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07635641) titled 'REPROton-HN: Prospective Observational Study on Proton Re-irradiation for Locoregional Recurrences of Head and Neck Tumors' on June 03.

Brief Summary: Some patients with head and neck cancer may develop a tumor recurrence in an area that has already been treated with radiotherapy. In these situations, surgery is not always possible, and giving radiotherapy again can be challenging because nearby healthy tissues and organs may already have received high radiation doses.

The REPROton-HN study is evaluating the use of proton therapy for these patients. Proton therapy is a type of radiation treatment that can deliver radiation more pre...
