Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Head and Neck Cancer
Registration Number
NCT02666885
Lead Sponsor
University Hospital Tuebingen
Brief Summary

The current trial is evaluating the integration of a pretherapeutical FDG-PET/MRI in the adjuvant radiochemotherapy in patients with head and neck cancer. As a secondary hypothesis the intention is to develop of a multi-parametric decision support system for personalised medicine by integrating functional imaging, γH2AX-analysis and genetic information.
