Plain-English translation of NCT07180901 on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗ ·
This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
After surgery for head and neck cancer, patients often need additional radiation therapy. This trial tests a new automated care coordination system called PRONTO-HN that sends reminders to the medical team and prioritizes patients most likely to need follow-up treatment. The goal is to make sure patients start their radiation therapy within 42 days of surgery, which research shows leads to better outcomes.
Currently, many patients experience long delays between surgery and their follow-up radiation therapy, and these delays are linked to worse cancer outcomes. This trial aims to solve that problem by using automation and better planning to keep treatment moving forward.

Your participation is mostly passive — you'll have your standard cancer care (surgery and any follow-up treatment you need), but your medical information will be tracked in the study database to see if the new coordination system works. You may be in the group that receives the new automated reminder system, which means your care team gets alerts and you might have additional consultations scheduled before surgery. Your medical records will be securely stored, and researchers will follow your progress for up to 3 years to measure outcomes.
