Image-Guided Adaptive Radiotherapy for in Detecting Tumors During Treatment in Patients With Head and Neck Cancer
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Head and Neck Cancer
In brief
This clinical trial studies image-guided adaptive radiotherapy in detecting tumors during treatment in patients with head and neck cancer. Image-guided adaptive radiotherapy uses high quality imaging technology to detect the tumor and normal organs during treatment. It is not yet known which imaging technique provides the best image for guidance during treatment with radiation therapy. Comparing results of imaging procedures done before, during, and after radiotherapy may help doctors plan the best treatment.
