This study examined the role of a broccoli sprout extract called Avmacol in preventing recurrence in patients who had completed curative treatment for tobacco-related head and neck squamous cell cancer. It enrolled current and former tobacco users whose treatment had been completed between 3 months and 5 years earlier. It was carried out in Early Phase 1 and has been completed.
