Thermotherapy in Addition to SOC Palliative Radiotherapy
This study aims to investigate the efficacy and safety profile of superficial hyperthermia (wIRA) in addition to standard of care (SOC) palliative radiotherapy in patients with inoperable/incurable locally advanced or recurrent/metastatic HNSCC or cutaneous SCC superficial tumours not suitable for radical treatment. The investigators will assess the best objective response rate (ORR) of patients with Inoperable/incurable or recurrent/metastatic HNSCC or cSCC with superficial lesion(s) treated with the combination…
