简要总结
RATIONALE: Using a customized headrest to hold patients in one position may help doctors plan treatment for patients with head and neck cancer. It is not yet known whether a customized headrest is more effective than a standard headrest in holding patients still during radiation therapy.
PURPOSE: This randomized clinical trial is studying a customized headrest to see how well it works compared with a standard headrest in holding patients still while undergoing radiation therapy for head and neck cancer.
详细描述
OBJECTIVES:
Primary
- To evaluate and compare the treatment set-up accuracy of customized vs standard headrest in immobilizing patients undergoing radiotherapy for head and neck cancer.
- To determine and compare patient comfort with the two immobilization techniques.
Secondary
- To evaluate radiation therapists' satisfaction with the two immobilization techniques.
- To examine and compare the cost effectiveness of the two immobilization techniques.
