Prospective Randomized Pilot Clinical Trial of Margin-Based Vs. Robust Photon Radiotherapy Planning in Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy of Squamous-Cell Carcinoma of the Head and Neck
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Robust Radiotherapy planning and Margin-Based Radiotherapy planning for Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Head and Neck. Completed, enrolled 23 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This is a research study to evaluate the quality of life and amount of dry mouth experienced as a result of radiotherapy in subjects who have squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (HN-SQCC). This study will compare the side effects experienced based on the method to plan radiotherapy, Margin Based or Robust.
