New treatment option for SCC - Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Official title Prognostic Value of Measuring CtDNA in a Cohort of Patients With Stage III and IV Upper Aero-digestive Tract (UADT) Cancer , Treated With Curative RADiOtherapy With or Without Concomitant Treatment.
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06479070
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- Squamous cell carcinomas of the upper aero-digestive tract (SCC-UADT) represent the seventh cause of cancer and affect approximately 600,000 patients per year worldwide. The majority of UADT cancers are diagnosed at an advanced stage (70.3% at stage III and IV) and less than 60% of these patients are free of the disease at 3 years, despite aggressive multimodal local treatment by surgery and /or radiochemotherapy.
