A Pilot Study of Tumor and Critical Normal Tissue Motion in Head and Neck Cancer Using Cone Beam CT


Inclusion Criteria:



- Patients of all ages ≥18, both sexes, and all races will be included in this study.
Pregnant females will be excluded. No other special classes of subjects (i.e.,
prisoners) will be entered.

- Patients must be diagnosed with biopsy-proven squamous cell carcinoma of the head and
neck.

- Patients must be recommended treatment with definitive radiation therapy with
concurrent chemotherapy, but without prior surgical resection of the primary tumor or
lymph nodes

- Patients must be recommended a treatment course of at least 30 radiation fractions

- Patients must sign an informed consent form approved for this purpose by the
Institutional Review Board (IRB) of the University of Michigan Hospital indicating
that they are aware that undergoing cone beam CT of the head and neck is voluntary
and has potential risks.

Exclusion Criteria:

- Patients must not have a history of prior radiation to the head or neck
