简要总结
The researchers hope that based on the study findings future patients may benefit from a more precise radiation treatment plan that can be developed more quickly and thus decrease the time from Computerized Tomography Simulation to start of treatment.
详细描述
As part of this study participants will receive the standard of care treatment for all head and neck cancer patients. The researchers plan to use a software program to see if it will assist in developing the best radiation treatment plan possible. The researchers will also measure the quality of each treatment plan so areas of improvement can be identified.

入选标准
- •Age ≥ 18 years.
- •Ability to provide informed written consent in either English or Spanish.
- •Patient planned to undergo radiation therapy for Head and Neck Cancer.
排除标准
- •Current pregnancy, as this is a contraindication to receiving radiation therapy.
- •History of prior radiotherapy to the head and neck.
- •Any condition or history as evidenced by patient record and/or self-report that, in the opinion of the investigator, would interfere with adherence to daily radiation therapy.
结局指标
主要结局
Mean radiation dose to Organs at Risk (OAR)
时间窗: Baseline to last treatment (up to 33 treatments or about 7 weeks)
Measurement of radiation dose to organs at risk. The goal is to maintain the PTV (Planning Target Volume) coverage while minimizing the dose to organs at risk (OARs).
Maximum radiation dose to Organs at Risk (OAR)
时间窗: Baseline to last treatment (up to 33 treatments or about 7 weeks)
Measurement of maximum radiation dose to organs at risk. The goal is to maintain the PTV (Planning Target Volume) coverage while minimizing the dose to organs at risk (OARs).
次要结局
- Time required to plan radiation therapy dose(CT Simulation to first treatment (about 1 week))
