• Status: Unknown
• Phase: N/A
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 24 (estimated)
• Sponsor: Cancer Research Antwerp · Academic / Other
• Sex: All

Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate the feasibility of using open masks or no masks in combination with optical surface scanning for radiotherapy in patients with head and neck cancer.

Conditions

• Head and Neck Neoplasm

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
RADIATION	Radiotherapy with Closed Mask	Radiotherapy for head and neck cancer, using a closed mask (full thermoplastic mask) to restrict patient movement.
RADIATION	Radiotherapy with Open Mask and Surface Scanning	Radiotherapy for head and neck cancer, using an open mask to restrict patient movement. Surface Scanning is used to monitor patient movement/positioning.
RADIATION	Radiotherapy with No Mask	Radiotherapy for head and neck cancer, without using a mask to restrict patient movement. Surface Scanning is used to monitor patient movement/positioning.
