About this study

The RESCUE study is a combined retrospective and prospective multicentre cohort study investigating the survival and functional outcomes in patients undergoing salvage surgery for recurrent, residual, and new primary head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). Additionally, the RESCUE study will contain an exploratory molecular analysis of consenting patients to assess the relationship between cancer genomics, previous radiotherapy, and recurrence in head and neck cancer.
