New study for head and neck cancer patients

InHANSE are pleased to announce the NIHR PgFAR funded programme PETNECK 2 is open.

PETNECK 2 follows on from the ground breaking PET Neck study which resulted in a change to the way patients were treated, as reported in the New England Journal of Medicine in 2016 [N Engl J Med. 2016 Apr 14;374(15):1444-54. DOI: 10.1056/NEJMoa1514493]

This new study aims to develop a new way to follow-up patients, guided by their symptoms, and compare it to the currrent way.
