Official title
A Pilot Study of Tumor and Critical Normal Tissue Motion in Head and Neck Cancer Using Cone Beam CT
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Cone beam CT (computed tomography) is a developing technology which allows CT images to be obtained while a patient is on the radiation treatment table.(A CT scan uses x-rays to produce detailed pictures of structures in the body.) In this study, cone beam CT scans will be obtained before individual radiation treatment sessions for head and neck cancer. The information gathered from these scans will be used by the researchers to look at patient movement as well as changes in the amount of normal and tumor tissue throughout the course of radiation therapy. The researchers will use this information to create hypothetical radiation treatment plans, which will be used as the basis for future research. The cone beam CT scan data will not be used to alter the actual radiation treatment of any of the patients enrolled on the study. In addition, tests of salivary output and swallowing and questionnaires about quality of life will be made to assess how the doses of radiation affect them.
