Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<p>The primary objective of this study is to assess the differences in<br /><br>[68Ga]Ga-RGD2 uptake and quantitative CT perfusion parameters between HPV+<br /><br>oropharyngeal HNSCC tumours and HPV- oropharyngeal HNSCC tumours in patients<br /><br>who will be treated with chemoradiotherapy. Furthermore, the changes in<br /><br>[68Ga]Ga-RGD2 uptake and CT perfusion parameters in tumours before and during<br /><br>chemoradiotherapy will be investigated.</p><br>
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<p>To explore the correlation between the PET/CT and CT perfusion scans and<br /><br>locoregional control at one year follow-up.</p><br>
