Study Overview

Brief Summary

This is an academic-driven project. India-Sweden Healthcare Innovation Centre has onboarded its technology partner Scandinavian ChemoTech AB. This is a post-market clinical follow-up study (PMCF), a single-arm, non-randomized study with 30 patients presented with locally advanced head and neck cancer, aiming to reduce tumor size and improve the patient’s quality of life (QOL). Patients who meet the eligibility criteria shall be enrolled in this study. Each patient will be subjected to receive a minimum of two cycles of TSE treatments.
