Researchers are testing whether artificial intelligence can analyze your PET scan images to predict which treatment — radiation with chemotherapy or surgery — will work best for your head and neck cancer and help avoid serious side effects. The study uses a computer program trained on thousands of patient cases to make personalized recommendations for your care.
Both radiation and surgery are effective treatments for head and neck cancer, but both can cause serious side effects. This trial exists to see if using artificial intelligence to analyze your scan images can help doctors predict your individual outcome and choose the treatment most likely to work best for you while reducing harm.

You will receive your standard cancer treatment (either radiation with chemotherapy or surgery) as planned. The study team will collect information about your medical scans, tissue samples, and clinical data, and you will attend follow-up visits to track how you recover. The study is observational, meaning researchers are watching and collecting data rather than testing a new drug or procedure.
