简要总结
A significant proportion of patients treated with whole-breast or head and neck radiotherapy will experience skin toxicity, i.e. skin dermatitis, which may lead to erythema, dry desquamation and wet desquamation. It is hypothesized that quantitative thermal imaging can be used to measure radiation-induced skin toxicity.
详细描述
The aim of this study is to use quantitative thermal imaging to evaluate skin toxicity in patients treated with whole-breast or head and neck radiotherapy.

入选标准
- •Biopsy-confirmed diagnosis of breast cancer (Stage 0-III) or head and neck cancer (all subtypes; stage I - IV) according to American Joint Committee on Cancer staging criteria.
- •Subjects must give appropriate written informed consent prior to participation in the study
- •Subjects must be able and willing to comply and understand the instructions associated with the imaging procedure.
- •Both men and women are eligible for participation
- •Subjects must be at least 18 years of age
- •Subjects must be receiving radiotherapy:
- •adjuvant radiotherapy to the whole breast or chest wall, or;
- •in the case of head and neck treatment, either as definitive treatment or adjuvantly.
- •definitive radiotherapy of the head and neck
排除标准
- •Subjects with any pre-existing dermatologic abnormalities (open sores, keloids, psoriasis) involving the treated breast or head and neck.
- •Patients with very hairy skin surface (this does not permit measuring the heat output)
- •Subjects with a current or past medical history of connective tissue disease.
- •Subjects who are pregnant or lactating (which usually preclude them from radiotherapy)
- •Subjects, who, in the opinion of the investigator or clinical research coordinator, may not otherwise be appropriate for inclusion into the study, such as significant anxiety, history of musculoskeletal disease which may predispose them to discomfort during the imaging/scanning period.
