Feasibility Study of Temporally Feathered Radiation Therapy (TFRT) for Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma: Means of Toxicity Reduction
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Temporally Feathered Radiation Therapy (TFRT) for Head and Neck Cancer. Completed, enrolled 5 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This study will evaluate the feasibility of using more advanced IMRT (intensity modulated radiation therapy) techniques. This new technique is termed Temporally Feathered Radiation Therapy (TFRT). TFRT is designed to reduce the side effects of conventional radiation therapy. Research has shown that TFRT may lessen these side effects.
