Brief Summary

Dose-painting may increase the chance of cure at minimised radiation-induced toxicity in volumetric-arc radiotherapy (VMAT) for head and neck cancer. This trial (RADPAINT) investigates the safety of FDG-PET guided radiotherapy using VMAT dose-painting by contours for patients with head and neck cancer of poor prognosis.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Late toxicity - mucosal ulcer

    The study will be stopped if ≥ 2 patients experience mucosal ulcers grade ≥ 3 (CTCAE v 3.0/v4.0) without healing within the first year after radiotherapy. This endpoint will be assessed by clinical examination.

    1 year

  • Acute or late toxicity

    Any life-threatening toxicity (CTCAE v4.0) related to radiotherapy. This endpoint will be assessed by clinical examination.

    1 year

Secondary Outcomes (5)

  • Acute toxicity

    < 3 months after radiotherapy

  • Late toxicity

    1 year

  • Loco-regional control

    3 years

  • Disease free survival

    3 years

  • Overall survival

    3 years

Study Arms (1)

Dose painting

EXPERIMENTAL

Dose painting

Radiation: FDG-PET guided dose painting

Interventions

The radiation dose inside the gross tumor volume is increased according to the voxel intensity (SUV - standardized uptake value) of pre-treatment FDG PET.
