Study Summary

The goal of this clinical research study is to use computed tomography (CT) scans to measure and guide your radiation therapy. Researchers want to learn if the CT scans can be used to adapt radiation therapy to the changes in normal tissue and to the shrinking of the tumor that may occur as a reaction to radiation therapy. Researchers also want to see if magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanning can detect certain changes in the tumor any earlier than with standard tests.

Primary Outcome

Comparison of mean dose in the Contralateral Parotid Gland and Ipsilateral Parotid Gland change between one adaptive replan (ART1) and two adaptive replans (ART2) planning relative to standard intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) planning. Dosimetric comparisons was performed using paired t-testing between plans, with patients serving as their own controls. The median trigger point for ART1 was the 16th treatment fraction. For ART2 patients, the median trigger points for the first and se
